	Description:		In this episode of the Wisdom Podcast, host Daniel Aitken speaks with Geshe Tashi Tsering, a teacher in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition who was recently appointed abbot of Sera Mey Monastery by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In this episode, you’ll hear Geshe Tashi share stories from his scholastic journey—from his early years at Sera Mey that would eventually lead to a geshe lharampa degree, to his years teaching at Jamyang Buddhist Centre in London. Upon encouragement by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Geshe Tashi would continue his education at the School of Oriental and Asian Studies at the University of London, where he completed an additional degree in Social Anthropology on contemporary interest in mindfulness practices. Geshe Tashi discusses his experiences acclimating to Western culture and the particular skillfulness he believes is needed in order to teach Western students. He also shares his reflections on coming full circle, from young monk to eventual abbot of Sera Mey Monastery, as well as his plans for the future including upcoming projects and publications. You can learn more about Geshe Tashi on his website, GesheTashi.org. The post Geshe Tashi Tsering: From Monk to Abbot at Sera Mey Monastery appeared first on The Wisdom Experience.
