Discover a Peaceful Start to Your Day.
Begin your mornings with serenity and clarity by cultivating
a daily meditation routine. Join Geshe Tashi Dhondup as he
gently leads you through a series of breathing exercises,
mindfulness meditation with visualization, and mantra
recitation. This practice aims to help you develop a
sustainable meditation habit that you can continue on your
own, fostering a lasting sense of tranquility throughout
your day.
Perfect for beginners and all levels of practitioners.
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.
