Christina Monson (1969–2023) was a Buddhist teacher and Tibetan language translator who studied Buddhism for over thirty years, beginning at Brown University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Monson journeyed to Nepal in 1989 where she met her root guru, Chatral Sangye Dorje Rinpoche, under whose guidance she studied and practiced for the next twenty-seven years. Chatral Rinpoche first introduced her to Sera Khandro’s teachings, and Monson spent the last several years of her life translating Sera Khandro’s instructions into English.
