Yesche U. Regel
Yesche U. Regel encountered Buddhism in 1977 and was initially involved in setting up Buddhist centers and later in running courses and retreats. He was a Buddhist monk from 1980–1997 and completed a three-year retreat in the Tibetan tradition at the Halscheid Retreat Center (our neighbors), where he lived for a total of almost 10 years (1986–1995). He has been teaching Tonglen for over 30 years and runs the Paramita Bonn.
