Lienchi Tran
Teacher
Raised in a Mahayana Buddhist family in Vietnam, Lienchi Tran discovered meditation in 1984, inspired by the teachings of Thay Thich Nhat Hanh. Her journey deepened in 1992 when she attended a retreat with Bhante Khippapanno, leading her to ordain and fully immerse herself in Theravada Buddhism. In 1998, she continued her training in Burma under Sayadaw U Pandita, and in 2003, she found her path profoundly shaped by her primary teacher, Sayadaw U Tejaniya, who encouraged mindfulness as a natural part of daily life.
After transitioning from monastic life, Lienchi returned to her career as an architect, weaving mindfulness into both her work and everyday experiences. Encouraged by her teachers, she began sharing meditation in 2017 and later completed the Four-Year Teacher Training at IMC/IRC with Gil Fronsdal and Andrea Fella.
Today, Lienchi shares the Dharma with warmth and compassion, supporting others as they cultivate understanding and mindfulness in their lives. She is dedicated to making mindfulness accessible and meaningful, guiding others with warmth and clarity as they deepen their practice.
