📖 About Lama Geshe YongDong
Lama Geshe YongDong Losar (Geshe-la) is a highly respected Tibetan Bön lama, meditation teacher, and author. Born in Tibet in 1969, he entered Nangzhig Bönpo Monastery—the largest Bön monastery in Tibet—at the age of 13. After more than a decade of intense study, he earned the Geshe degree, the highest academic title in the Bön tradition (equivalent to a PhD).
In 1992, Geshe-la undertook a perilous journey by foot across the Himalayas to Nepal, where he continued his studies in both Nepal and India. In 2000, he moved to Courtenay, British Columbia, where he founded Sherab Chamma Ling, the first Tibetan Bön Buddhist Centre in Canada. He now teaches internationally and has established learning centers across several countries.
Geshe-la is also the author of Calm Breath, Calm Mind, published by Wisdom Publications, where he shares many of the breath and awareness practices taught in this workshop. His teachings are a beautiful balance of scholarly depth, heartfelt compassion, and practical tools for modern living.
Join us for this unforgettable afternoon and receive guidance from a living master of one of the world’s most profound spiritual traditions. Return home with a lighter heart, steadier breath, and a deeper connection to your own true nature.
