Ligmincha Bookstore & Tibet Shop Seeks New Manager
A Letter From Manager Melissa O’Neill
Hello everyone!
A position is opening up soon for a new Ligmincha Bookstore Manager at Ligmincha Institute’s Serenity Ridge Retreat Center in Shipman, Va. My husband and I will be relocating to Indiana in the spring where he will continue his educational pursuits. I am excited for this new experience, but sad to leave my position here at Ligmincha Institute and my life in Charlottesville, Va.
The good news is someone else will have the opportunity to make a life change and to have the immense pleasure of managing the Ligmincha Institute Bookstore & Tibet Shop. We are now accepting resumes for the position of Bookstore Manager. This full-time, salaried position requires working on-site at Serenity Ridge. Please send inquiries and resumes to:

This position requires a highly organized person who works well in a small, dynamic office environment. Primary responsibilities include managing the e-commerce site, processing images and uploading them to the Web, writing text for merchandise descriptions, and managing inventory, orders, and sales for both our online and on-site retail store. Applicant must be open to assisting in other areas as needed. Proficiency with Microsoft Office 2010 (Word, Excel and Access) and Quickbooks is a must; knowledge of Photoshop Elements 9, Adobe Audition and Adobe InDesign is a plus.
This is a wonderful opportunity to support the mission and vision of Ligmincha Institute while furthering a rewarding relationship with the teachings and the worldwide sanghas.
In Bon,
Melissa O’Neill
