Geshe Thubten Sherab was born in in the Manang district of Nepal. He entered Kopan Monastery at age nine.

Over the last decade, Geshe Sherab has taught all over the world as well as serving several years as Kopan’s Headmaster.
In , Geshe Sherab spent three months touring the FPMT Australian centers, organized by FPMT in Australia. Mandala spoke with Geshe Sherab in October while he was at Kadam Sharawa Centre, located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
Mandala: What stands out to you as some of the big challenges for Western Dharma students or Dharma students coming from industrialized and more developed countries in the world? What are the challenges they face as they try to study Dharma and take on a Buddhist path?

Geshe Sherab über Studium und Praxis:
Wenn wir mit dem Dharma beginnen, ist es am Wichtigsten, dass wir versuchen das Gehörte vollständig in unser Leben zu integrieren. Ich sehe, dass es Menschen gibt, die sich nur intellektuell mit dem Gehörten befassen, und wenn das der Fall ist, dann wird ihr Herz ganz trocken und eng. Sie haben zwar das Wissen eines Computers, sie wissen sehr viel, aber nichts berührt ihr Herz. Die Gefahr besteht darin, dass sie andere, mit weniger Wissen, von oben herab betrachten, und arrogant werden. Dann gibt es Menschen, die nicht studieren, und denken, Praxis alleine reicht aus. Aber wie kann man praktizieren, wenn man nicht weiss, wie man praktizieren soll? Das Studium ist ausserdem auch äusserst wichtig, denn es besteht die Gefahr, dass, wenn man den Dharma nicht kennt, von einem falschen Lehrer auf Irrwege geführt wird, und ausgenutzt werden kann. Ich möchte betonen, dass dies meine ganz persönliche Ansicht ist, und ich möchte niemanden kritisieren. Mein Anliegen ist es, dass die Schüler Studium und Praxis zusammen integrieren, was vor allem auch der Wunsch von S.H. Dalai Lama und Lama Zopa Rinpoche ist.
Lama Yeshe Ling is delighted to welcome back Geshe Sherab, this October. Geshe la understands and connects very well with Western students. He presents the Dharma in English, in a highly accessible, warm, and open manner. We feel very fortunate that Geshe Sherab has agreed to share his profound wisdom and compassion with us again this year online.
