Geshe Tashi Dhondup

Geshe Tashi Dhondup was born into a nomadic family on the Tibetan plateau in Kham. At the age of 14, he entered the local monastery, and at 17, he embarked on a harrowing 29-day nighttime journey to Nepal for further education. He studied Buddhist philosophy in Tibet, India, and Nepal, completing his Geshe studies at Kopan Monastery in 2004.

Beginning in 2005, Geshe Dhondup served as the philosophy teacher at the Kopan Nunnery for six years. In 2010, he became the headmaster of the Kopan School, a role he held for three years. From 2013, he was both headmaster and philosophy teacher at the Kopan Nunnery for seven years. In 2021, Geshe Dhondup took on the role of Kopan's disciplinarian.

Geshe-la speaks Tibetan, Nepalese, Hindi, English, Chinese, and the highly endangered language of Minyak.
