Resident Teacher - Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong
The Resident Teacher at Manjushri KMC is Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong.
Gen-la has been a disciple of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche for nearly 40 years and holds the lineages of his blessings in her heart.
She is recognised as a fully qualified Teacher of Sutra and Tantra, and in particular is qualified to bestow the blessings of the Highest Yoga Tantra practices of Heruka and Vajrayogini.
She is an inspiring example of a modern Kadampa disciple who relies sincerely upon her Spiritual Guide in all her actions.

General Spiritual Director
Besides being the Resident Teacher at Manjushri KMC, the mother centre of modern Kadampa Buddhism, Gen-la is the General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU. In addition to her responsibilities at Manjushri KMC, she teaches extensively at major events around the world.
Weekly Meditation Classes with Gen-la
Gen-la Dekyong teaches the Special Teacher Training Programme at Manjushri KMC.
Classes are held on Sunday 7 - 9pm and Tuesday 7 - 8.45am.
You can drop-in to any class - no booking is needed. Or you can choose to take the STTP commitments and undertake to attend every class at the centre.
