• Understanding how this practice fulfills the samayas of the Five Buddha Families.
• The meaning and importance of tantric vows and commitments.
• How to visualize and meditate on guru devotion based on the sadhana.

Geshe Tenzin Legtsok has recently 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.
