Gen-la has concluded her extraordinary teachings at Manjushri KMC this weekend, and the students have settled into 2 days of retreat with Gen Nyingpo.

Listening to Gen-la Dekyong’s teachings this weekend at Manjushri KMC it is easy to see how she is perfectly qualified to be the General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU. Her reliance upon her Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Keslang Gyatso Rinpoche, is exemplary, and because of this listening to her teach we feel as if we are listening to Venerable Geshe-la himself teaching through her.
