About the teacher
Geshe Yeshe Thabkhe
Geshe Yeshe Thabkhe teaches Nagarjuna's Precious Garland at Sravasti Abbey every Monday morning — a second-century text that sets out both how to govern well and how to see emptiness, and does not treat those as separate questions.
He also leads retreat teachings on Je Rinpoche's Prayer to Be Reborn in the Land of Bliss, the Pure Land aspiration that sits inside the Gelug tradition alongside its better-known analytical work.
