with Geshe Thubten Sherab
Via Zoom. Registration is required.
Tse Chen Ling is honored to welcome back Geshe Thubten Sherab for a three-class series!
Program Description:
What are these obstacles that keep us in cyclic existence and keep us from realizing Renunciation, Bodhicitta, and Emptiness? And how can we overcome them?
The Tibetan Buddhist tradition often emphasizes purification practices, prayers, and pujas. But these need to be applied appropriately. How do we know what to try when? Are there other methods to overcome obstacles? Geshe Thubten Sherab will explore this topic with us in depth. There will also be time for a Q&A with Geshe Sherab.
About Geshe Thubten Sherab:
Geshe Sherab was born in Manang, Nepal in 1967. He attended Kopan monastery at the age of 9 in around 1976/1977 and was ordained by Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche. After 10 years of study in Kopan, he went to Sera Je Monastery for further studies in 1987, and graduated as Geshe at the end of 1999. After that he joined Gyume Tantric College for a year. Then he taught young monks at Kopan for a year. In 2001 he was sent by Lama Zopa Rinpoche to New Mexico to serve and help at International Office of FPMT as well as teach at TNL in Santa Fe and Ksiti Garba Center in Taos as resident teacher. He also served as Board member of FPMT for 2 years during that period. By end of 2003 in December he returned back to Nepal to do his own practices. In 2006 he was appointed as Head Master of Kopan monastery and served for 4 years. He served as acting Abbot for a year in 2011 when the late Guru Khensur Rinpoche Lama Lhundup became ill.
