Geshe Lobsang Jamyang came to Chenrezig Institute in 2005 to take on the role of assistant teacher for the on-going Buddhist Studies Programme and as the main teacher of the general programme.
Born in 1966, Geshe Jamyang took ordination at the age of 16. He studied for 4 years in Kardze Monastery under the renowned master Lobsang Jamyang (of the same name). At the age of 22 he joined Sera-Je monastery in South India. Geshe Tashi Tsering was Geshe Jamyang's first main teacher in India and he has been guided by Geshe-la ever since. (Geshe Tashi Tsering is the main teacher at Chenrezig Institute).
Having studied for another 18 years, Geshe Jamyang attained the highest degree in Buddhist philosophy, Geshe Lharampa, scoring top marks in all the different classes and topics he studied. He then spent an additional year in Gyume Tantric monastery in which he mastered practice and rituals of the tantric tradition and once again was ranked top of his class.
Having completed his studies, Geshe Jamyang became the main teacher in Drolma-Ling nunnery – one of the leading nunneries in India, teaching philosophy and debating skills in a unique study system emphasising a non-sectarian approach.
Geshe Jamyang then accepted Geshe Tashi Tsering’s invitation to come to Chenrezig Institute in order to enhance the study program.
