THE TEACHER
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jay Goldberg, also known as Ngawang Samten Chophel, has been a disciple of His Holiness Sakya Trizin since 1970, when he first went to India and stayed there. Eventually, he became an attendant and translator for His Holiness, and he took ordination as a monk.\u00a0 Later, Jay was asked to travel with His Holiness, and then to give teachings and instructions on meditations in Malaysia, Singapore, and elsewhere. His name (either English or Tibetan) can be found as the translator or co-translator on many Sakya sadhanas and in a number of books.
\nHe translated The Beautiful Ornament of the Three Visions and he is also a translator of Mo Tibetan Divination System.\u00a0 Always dedicated to practicing and teaching the Dharma, Jay returned to secular life in 1988, and moved to California.
\nNow his experiential knowledge and wealth of information is being shared with Dharma students here.<\/p>\n
