Open Session with Geshema Phuntsok Namdol

The topic for this open session will be: “How and why did the Buddha come into this world?”

The talk will be held in English and is free of charge.

Geshema Phuntsok Namdrol earned the highest marks across all of India and Nepal as part of the first group of nuns to complete the 22-year Geshema program—equivalent to a PhD in Buddhist philosophy under the guidance of His Holiness the 14^th Dalai Lama. This historic group graduated in 2016 in South India in the presence of His Holiness. She is currently the principal teacher at Kopan Nunnery and has been invited to several Western countries to teach Buddhism.
