About Lienchi Tran

Raised in a Mahayana Buddhist family in Vietnam, Lienchi Tran first encountered meditation in 1984, inspired by the teachings of Thay Thich Nhat Hanh. Her path deepened in 1992 during a retreat with Bhante Khippapanno, which led her to ordain and fully immerse herself in Theravada Buddhism. In 1998, she continued her training in Burma with Sayadaw U Pandita, and in 2003 her practice was profoundly shaped by her main teacher, Sayadaw U Tejaniya, who emphasized mindfulness as a natural part of everyday life.

After leaving monastic life, Lienchi returned to her work as an architect, bringing mindfulness into both her profession and daily experience. Encouraged by her teachers, she began offering 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 develop understanding and mindfulness in their lives. She is devoted to making mindfulness accessible and meaningful, guiding others with clarity and care as they deepen their practice.
