Geshe Tenzin Namdak

At Jamyang London our Buddhist Courses and Buddhist Study Programme on Buddhist philosophy and practice rely on a skilled teacher to bring them to life. We're extremely fortunate to have a supremely qualified Resident Teacher to do just that.

Biography

After completing his university studies in Hydrology, Geshe Namdak worked as an environmental researcher in the Netherlands. He began studying Buddhism at Maitreya Institute and was eventually ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama before completing the 20-year Geshe degree at Sera Jey monastic university in India, as well as the traditional one-year Vajrayana study program at Gyume Tantric College.Few people can combine this extensive Buddhist education with a rigorous scientific training. The result is Geshe Namdak's unique teaching style, which is at once incisive, clear, warm and humorous. Geshe Namdak is also Part-time Tutor at the Department for Continuing Education, University of Oxford, and gives courses on Buddhist Mind Science at this department.

Published Books

As part of The Sera Jey Monastic University Translation Department, Geshe Namdak edited and translated Khedrup Je's commentary on Dharmakirti's Seven Treatises on Valid Cognition in the publication Freedom through Correct Knowing.
