‘In the quest to accomplish the wisdom tradition
As taught by the mighty Tathagata himself,
Keep inner vision as your peerless guide;
Launch into meditation on the nature of voidness,
Legacy of Nagarjuna, and accomplish his state.’
Yangchen Shepai Dorje

Geshe Tashi Tsering

Geshe Tashi Tsering

‘I often say we should think of our dharma practice as a hobby.’
Geshe Tashi Tsering
