About the speaker
Isidro Gordi has had a significant impact on the Spanish and Latin American Buddhist community. His work has helped many people find peace and happiness through the practice of Buddhism. His legacy continues through Ediciones Amara and his teachings, which still inspire people around the world. He is regarded as one of the clearest and most dedicated voices in the transmission of Buddhism in the Spanish language.
Since the 1980s, Isidro has helped make the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism accessible through pioneering editorial work via Ediciones Amara, as well as through his own writings, which combine doctrinal rigour with pedagogical sensitivity. His intention has always been clear. Buddhist teachings should not remain confined to a distant culture, but should illuminate the minds and hearts of people living in the modern world.
As a teacher, his style is marked by precision, intellectual honesty, and humility, avoiding all forms of dogmatism or superficial esotericism. He has succeeded in keeping the tradition alive without falling into formalism, offering practical, accessible, and profound tools to transform everyday life through meditation, study, and the cultivation of wisdom.
Isidro Gordi’s legacy is also that of a direct witness to the transformation of Buddhism in the West, a process in which he has played a crucial role. His writings, his translations of classical texts, and his training courses have educated and will continue to educate thousands of people seeking a more lucid, compassionate, and conscious life.
In a time marked by distraction and superficiality, Isidro reminds us that it is possible to live with depth, cultivate inner serenity, and open ourselves to a liberating understanding of existence.

Week of Mindfulness and Mental Detox
Course with Lharampa Tenzin Kalden*
Mindfulness meditation for stress and negative emotions: mindfulness weeks with Tenzin Kalden. Mindfulness meditation is one of the foundational techniques for calming the mind, regulating our emotional life, and finding a sense of purpose. It has its roots in Buddhist psychology, which aims to train the mind. In everyday life, our minds are constantly distracted.
Thoughts about the future and the past, as well as plans, expectations, worries, and other negative thought patterns, constantly occupy our minds. As a result, it becomes very difficult to live fully in the here and now and to feel truly connected to ourselves.
