Visiting Teachers​

Native Italian, Francesca Paoletti was educated as an environmental engineer. In 2010 she took a career break to deepen her Dharma understanding and attend the FPMT residential Basic Program at Lama Tzong Khapa Institute in Italy. She completed her studies with an essay on the relation between environmental awareness and Buddhist ethics.

Francesca currently lives nearby Zurich and is engaged in projects on climate protection and social justice. Her main areas of interest are the application of Dharma in everyday life and presenting the depth of Buddhist philosophy in a clear and accessible way. She is an FPMT registered teacher and a certified trainer for Cultivating Emotional Balance, a program developed by Alan Wallace and Paul Ekman upon request by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
