Review Classes: Teachings on The Songs of Experience

We are pleased to inform you that we will offer revision classes on The Songs of Experience in the coming weeks. These sessions will take place while we await new dates from our Abbot, Ven. Geshe Thubten Chonyi, to resume the invaluable online teachings on Lama Tsongkhapa's text.

As you know, The Songs of Experience is one of the texts His Holiness the Dalai Lama has encouraged us to study, reflect upon, and meditate on for the benefit of Lhungtok Choekhorling Monastery. In addition, during these classes, there will be opportunities for meditation on Lama Tsongkhapa's Short Lamrim.

About the Tutors

Venerable Marco Castaldi (Tenzin Ciampa) is an Italian Buddhist monk in the Mahayana tradition and a member of the Sangha Foundation ETS in Pomaia. With a degree in Industrial Chemistry, he began his Buddhist journey at the Chenresig Study Center in Bologna, where he served as director and met Geshe Jampa Gyatso. Ordained as a monk in 2015, he received full ordination from His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 2019. He is currently engaged in advanced studies in the Masters Program and actively contributes to the Lhungtok Choekhorling Monastery project.

Ven. Tenzin Namjong, originally from Hawaii and a graduate of Princeton with a degree in philosophy, abandoned academic philosophy to find practical guidance in Buddhism on how to live. He studied in the Zen and Theravada traditions before embracing Tibetan Buddhism, thanks to the Dalai Lama and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. After completing the 17-year Geshe program at Sera Je Monastery in India, he now teaches at several Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) centers around the world.
