Investigate the role of a teacher on the spiritual path, the need for a teacher, the qualities of a teacher, the qualities of a student, and how to relate to a teacher for the greatest benefit in our spiritual life. Consider the challenges faced when entering into a guru-disciple relationship and learn how to overcome these skillfully.
Geshe Tenzin Legtsok has just completed the
twenty year Geshe Program of study in classic Indian
Buddhist treatise and their Tibetan commentaries in the
tradition of ancient Nalanda University at Sera Jey Monastic University
in South India. He has been ordained as a
Buddhist monk since 2001.
Born in Virginia, USA in 1973, he obtained a Bachelor of
Arts from Kenyon College in 1995. The question, “What
makes for the most happy and meaningful life,” which
compelled him to major in philosophy during college
gradually led to his study of meditation and philosophy
with teachers among the exiled Tibetan communities in
India and Nepal from 1999 until the present.
For the past ten years he has tried to make basic Buddhist
teachings accessible to various audiences in India and the
US through lectures, essays, and meditation instruction.
