Meditation on the Nature of the Mind
Geshe Thubten Sherab was born in Nepal of Tibetan parents, and received his education at Kopan Monastery, Nepal, the spiritual center of the FPMT. He completed his studies at Sera Jey Monastic University and at Gyume Tantric College in India. He has lived in the USA working at the FPMT Central office and several nearby Dharma Centers in Taos, New Mexico.
He returned to Nepal after several years in the U.S. to become Headmaster of Kopan Monastery. Geshe-la has retired from the Headmaster role in order to have more time to devote to meditation and to teaching internationally. For the last few years, he has been travelling and teaching at FPMT Centers in USA, Canada, Mexico, Asia and Europe.

Yongey's decision to follow the example of ancient Buddhist mendicants, leaving behind his leading roles in three Buddhist abbeys. It is a compelling story of life at the edge of existence, bringing Buddhist training to the modern world, and reconciling inner and outer worlds/lives. This is such a rich story of learning and growth in the most challenging circumstances. Below are links to more information about the book.

Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga
Guided Meditation with Elissa Slanger
Sunday, Feb. 16th
1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Kum Nye Tibetan Relaxation is a gentle healing system that relieves stress, transforms negative patterns, kelps us to be more balanced and healthy, and increases our enjoyment and appreciation of life. …It integrates and balances two approaches, the physical and the psychological…As it, leads to the integration of body and mind in all our activities, this relaxation has a lasting quality greater than the feeling of well-being experienced in physical exercise, or even in disciplines such as yoga. When we learn to open our senses and touch our feelings directly, our bodies and minds make full contact with one another, and all experience becomes rich, healthy, and more beautiful. As we become deeply acquainted with ourselves and our self-understanding grows, we are also able to share more fully with others. (Not an FPMT Event)
Elissa Slanger began her study of Buddhism in a Japanese Zen monastery in 1960. For the following years she practiced with first the London Buddhist Society and then the Zen Center, until 1961, when she attended a workshop given by Tartung Tulku. She has been a part of his community since then. She began teaching at the Nyingma Institute Buddhist Center, in Berkeley in 2014. A near death experience she had in 2013, confirmed for her the truths of the Buddhist teachings. Elissa is also a clinical psychologist - having practiced until she was well into her 80’s. She is a past president of the Nevada Psychological Association.
