Katherine Metz

Katherine Metz (she/her) is a virtual repository of knowledge and wisdom, both ancient and modern. Under the tutelage of His Holiness Grandmaster Professor Lin Yun (1932-2010), Katherine honors Professor Lin’s legacy by sharing her first-hand account of 25 years of his teachings in Tibetan Buddhism, and over 36 years of experience as a practitioner, teacher, and mentor. Her quiet presence and nuanced writings continue to educate and inspire students and practitioners around the world. Most importantly and uniquely, Katherine imparts its heartsong: the spirit—that must be present in order to fully practice in a way that touches the world.

“There is a simple, natural, harmonious magic that exists, to which we are all in tune if we can learn to listen. Just as a work of art moves us to a dimension that words cannot reach, the places that we create can move us beyond the rational, the external, and the objective, to a place of meaning and reverence.” – Katherine Metz
