About the Teaching Assistant, Joe Kimmel:
Joe attended Bodhi Path Santa Barbara regularly for 8 years. During this time he took Refuge and Bodhicitta vows with Bodhi Path teachers, but more importantly learned the meanings of Refuge and Bodhicitta from Bodhi Path teachers. When he started at Bodhi Path he had some experience meditating and the vague desire to establish a regular meditation practice grounded in a thorough understanding of traditional Buddhist teachings. Most recently he completed a couple retreats at Garchen Buddhist Institute, including a 6 week silent retreat working with much the same meditations and contemplations as Bodhi Path students. Since he is so confident that Bodhi Path provides an excellent foundation for anyone’s meditation practice, he is happy to support the Bodhi Path as a TA.
Joe has been living at Garchen Buddhist Institute with his wife, Vaughnda, who is a member of staff there, since mid-2022. He writes software for money.
