The two-day event is based upon Nagarjuna’s “In Praise of Dharmadhātu”; a short but deeply influential poetic work attributed to the 2nd–3rd century Madhyamaka philosopher. It explores the nature of the dharmadhātu – the ultimate sphere of reality – often equated with emptiness (śūnyatā) and buddha-nature (tathāgatagarbha). Through his clear, accessible, and compassionate teaching style, Geshe-la will provide insight into how understanding our innate potential can inspire confidence, resilience, and a genuine aspiration for awakening. This weekend offers a rare opportunity to engage with a classic Mahayana text under the guidance of a highly respected FPMT scholar-practitioner.
ABOUT THE TEACHER
Geshe Tenzin Zopa is a Tibetan Buddhist monk within the FPMT, born in 1975 in Nepal’s Tsum Valley. He entered Kopan Monastery at the age of nine for traditional training in philosophy and practice. He later completed his advanced Geshe degree at Sera Jey Monastic University in South India. A devoted disciple of Geshe Lama Konchog, he served as his attendant and translator for many years. His search for his teacher’s reincarnation became the subject of the documentary Unmistaken Child. Geshe Zopa now teaches internationally as an FPMT touring Geshe across Asia, Europe, and beyond. In his home region of Tsum, he continues to support monasteries, nunneries, and local Dharma projects. He is also closely involved in caring for Tulku Tenzin Phuntsok Rinpoche, the recognized reincarnation. Known for his warmth and clarity, he has authored several books on Buddhist philosophy and practice.
