Tim Addison grew up in Boulder and entered the Shambhala community in 1990. He later ordained as a monk, receiving the name Lodrö Gyatso from Thrangu Rinpoche. He studied and practiced at Gampo Abbey in Nova Scotia, including advanced training at the Vidyadhara Institute and graduate studies at Naropa University, while also working with Buddhist prison outreach programs. He taught and led retreats in Boulder and throughout Canada before returning his robes and moving to southern Germany in 2015, where he continues to practice and teach primarily in Switzerland. His four-volume meditation manual, Like Honey Amidst Bees, presents teachings from shamatha through bodhicitta to the four vipashyana yogas of the Shentong tradition, based on the instructions of Maitreya.
