About

Under the spiritual patronage of Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tashi Tsering, TKSL is a school of Buddhist Science with an emphasis on philosophical teachings relating to the nature and workings of consciousness/cognition; the way things exist; and the difference between how they exist and how they appear to us.

The purpose and benefit of the study is to help us understand how our minds work so that we can bring them under our control and thereby lead happier lives.

What's On

We have another week of great offerings including a special guest, Ven Tsepal, to facilitate Monday night's class. Ven Tsepal, who is visiting from the USA, has been a long term student of Rinpoche and brings a wealth of study, knowledge and experience. It's a rare opportunity to be able to meet her, and ask any questions you might have. I would strongly encourage everyone to come to the Monday night class this week even if you haven't been to one before. I'm sure it will be insightful and well worth it.

We also have a Guru Puja lead by Umdze Tsewang on Saturday afternoon. What a great way to spend a Saturday! Meditation, understanding logical reasoning then Guru Puja. How meritorious!!!

Teachers

There are many teachers who have taught and continue to teach at TKSL since it began in 2008. Our current teachers are listed below.

Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tashi Tsering

Founder, teacher and patron, Khensur Rinpoche began TKSL with the intention of benefiting both Buddhist and non-Buddhist students by educating them on the basis, or how things actually exist. Topics Rinpche has recently taught include Lam Rim Chen Mo, Entering the Middle Way and Practical Reasoning and Debate. See Rinpoche's biography here.

Venerable Tshering

Tshering has been Khensur Rinpoche's attendant and translator for more than 20 years, and is one of the original teachers at the school. She has taught many subjects, including the very popular Tibetan classes and Logic for Dummies.

Venerable Tsewang
