LAMA GANGCHEN

INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION USA

“When we are stressed, the first thing [you] can do is:

•Center yourself.

•Focus on your center.

•Then visualize Lama Gangchen (or your point of light) at your crown.

•Feel the peaceful, loving energy.

•Spread that peace energy throughout your entire body.

This simple point is enough to change your mind from stress to inner calm.”

— Tina Mariani

Tina Mariani has studied and worked with Lama Gangchen Rinpoche for over 40 years and was among his very first students when he arrived in Italy. Together with her husband, Lama Dino, she played a pivotal role in bringing Tibetan Buddhism, Reiki healing, meditation, and Inner Peace teachings to thousands of people throughout Italy and around the world.

A Reiki Master, spiritual teacher, and leader of a global Reiki community, Tina shares profound insights into the healing power of the Medicine Buddha, the integration of Reiki and Tibetan Buddhist practices, and how inner peace can be cultivated even in times of stress, anxiety, and uncertainty.

This conversation is a heartfelt exploration of spiritual healing, mindfulness, devotion, and service, offering both practical guidance and deep inspiration for anyone on a path of inner transformation.
