As we approach the anniversary of Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche,
our revered spiritual teacher who has recently shown the
aspect of passing away, we gather to honor his memory, and
pray for his swift return. Venerable Namjong will guide us
in understanding the profound significance of recalling the
kindness of our spiritual teacher, and will lead Chanting
the Names of Manjushri for Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s Swift
Return.
Join us for this heartfelt teaching as we learn how to
properly honor, and cherish the guru’s blessings.
Born and raised in Hawaii, Venerable Tenzin
Namjong studied philosophy at Princeton. His plan
was to do a Ph.D. in philosophy, but he became disillusioned
with academic philosophy because “it seemed to have lost the
big picture, meaning how we should live our lives.” In
Buddhism, he found a rich philosophical tradition that was
still very much connected to how we ought to live.
Venerable Namjong studied and trained in Zen and Theravada
traditions before embracing the Tibetan Buddhist tradition,
due mainly to the kindness of His Holiness the Dalai Lama
and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. He is currently studying in the
Geshe study program at Sera Je Monastery
in Bylakuppe, India.
Venerable Namjong is a registered teacher of the FPMT and
teaches in FPMT Centers all over the world.
