At the age of twenty-two,
Stephen ÂSchettini was ordained as a Buddhist monk in the Tibetan tradition and
lived for eight years in Northern and South India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and
Switzerland. He was a founding member of Tharpa ChÃeling Centre dâhautes Ãtudes
Tibetaines in Mont PÃlÃrin, Switzerland where, following his training, he
served as a translator and instructor in language, philosophy and meditation.
In 1982 he cut his ties with institutional Buddhism and struck out on his own.
Since then, working in Canada as a graphic artist, writer and publisher, he has
authored, edited and illustrated articles and books on health science and stress
management.
He took up his teaching career again in 2002 with the inauguration of mindful
reflection workshops and Quiet Mind Seminars, and is highly regarded for his
ability to interpret traditional Buddhism in terms of everyday Western life.
Stephen lives in Montreal, Canada with his wife and children.
