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 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.
