Resident Teacher
The principal teacher at Gyaltsabje Buddhist Meditation Centre is an English Buddhist monk, Gen Kelsang Rigpa. He first became aware of Buddha's teachings at around the age of 17. He developed a deep interest in the practice of Buddhism, which served as a perfect foundation for his inevitable meeting with his Spiritual Guide, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, some years ago. Gen Rigpa has the transmission, lineage and blessings of Venerable Geshe Kelsang's teachings and books.
It is easy to understand why so many admire Rigpa and why Geshe Kelsang praises him for "his good heart." Rigpa's natural ability to explain Buddha's teachings with great warmth and a delightful sense of humor, as well as his compassionate guidance and sincerity, have made him a well-loved teacher and a friend of many.
