Keith Dowman (born 1945) is an English Dzogchen teacher and translator of Tibetan Buddhist texts.
[1] Dowman travelled to India and Nepal in 1966 where he practiced Kriya Yoga with Ganesh Baba and vipassanā meditation with the Indian Theravadin teacher Anagarika Munindra.
He studied Classical Tibetan at Queens College, Sanskrit University, in Varanasi, India, under Lama Jamspal.
In 1973, at the Nyingma Institute in Berkeley, California, his translations were first published under the auspices of Tarthang Tulku, while he taught on Tibetan language at Sonoma State University.
In his later writings, he has focused increasingly on Dzogchen and in particular on the works of the 14th Century Nyingma master scholar Longchenpa.
