Geshe Tashi Tsering (London)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geshe Tashi Tsering has been the resident Tibetan Buddhist teacher at Jamyang Buddhist Centre, London, since 1994.
Geshe Tashi was born in Purang, Tibet in 1958, and his parents escaped to India in 1959. He entered Sera Mey Monastic University in South India when he was 13 years old, and graduated with a Lharampa Geshe degree 16 years later. Geshe Tashi then entered the Higher Tantric College (Gyuto) for a year of study. [1]
Geshe Tashi's teaching career began at Sera, after which he taught the monks at Kopan Monastery, Nepal for a year. He went on to the Gandhi Foundation College in Nagpur, India and then moved to Europe, initially to Nalanda Monastery in the South of France.
Geshe Tashi teaches in English and is renowned for his warmth, clarity and humour. Besides Jamyang, he is a regular guest teacher at other Buddhist centres in the UK and around the world as well as creator and teacher of the Foundation of Buddhist Thought, the two-year FPMT correspondence and campus course on the basics of Tibetan Buddhism.

Geshe-la should not be confused with Geshe Tashi Tsering of Chenrezig Institute, Australia.
