About the presenter:
The Diamond Light Buddhist Group is proud to present a two-day event with Venerable Geshe Lobsang Tsultrim. “Geshe” is a degree that is earned after 20-30 years of intensive study and completing the highest-level exams at monastic institutions of higher learning. The honorable Geshe Degree is often compared as the monastic equivalent of a western “Ph.D.”
Geshe-la (as he is affectionately called) is a Tibetan Buddhist monk of the Gelugpa order, born near the eastern region of Tibet in Amdo. Having successfully completed studies in both sutra and tantric Buddhist universities, Geshe Tsultrim is also a skilled monastic artist, specializing in traditional Tibetan art and the preservation of Tibetan culture by teaching philosophy and art programs to individuals, organizations, churches, universities, schools and cultural events around the planet. In addition to his native Tibetan language, Geshe-la converses eloquently in English and Chinese.
