Discover a Peaceful Start to Your Day.
Kickstart your mornings with peace and clarity by developing
a daily meditation practice. Join Geshe Tashi Dhondup as he
gently guides you through breathing exercises, mindfulness
meditation with visualization, mantra recitation, and simple
mandala offering. This easy morning routine will help you
cultivate mindfulness, carrying a sense of tranquility
throughout your day.
Perfect for beginners and all levels of practitioners.
Geshe Tashi Dhondup was born into a nomadic
family living on the Tibetan plateau in Kham. At age 14, he
entered the local monastery, and at age 17 walked to Nepal
for further education after a harrowing 29 day journey by
night. He studied Buddhist philosophy in Tibet, India and
Nepal, and accomplished his Geshe studies at Kopan in 2004.
For the next six years, beginning in 2005, Geshe Dhondup was
the philosophy teacher at the Kopan Nunnery. Then in 2010,
and for the next three years, he became the headmaster of
the Kopan school. Starting in 2013, he was both headmaster
and philosophy teacher of the Kopan Nunnery for seven years,
and in 2021 Geshe Dhondup took on the role of Kopan’s
disciplinarian.
Geshe-la speaks Tibetan, Nepalese, Hindu, English, Chinese,
and the highly endangered language of Minyak, and is
presently the acting resident teacher at Thubten Norbu Ling
in Santa Fe, New Mexico, while Geshe Thubten Sherab is
traveling.
