Meditation & Teaching with Venerable Losang Gendun

This event will be held in person at All Souls as well as shared via Zoom.

About Venerable Gendun:

Venerable Losang Gendun’s path into Buddhist practice began in the late 1970s through encounters with contemplatives in whom a life of inner perfection and service had become wholly embodied — a Trappist monk, and later a Theravāda abbot, who between them set the course of a life dedicated to meditation. Before taking robes, he worked across palliative care, technology, refugee organizations, and management — a range of human experience that continues to shape his teaching.

Taking robes as a Bhikṣu in the Tibetan tradition in 2006, Ven. Gendun spent nine years in philosophical study at Nalanda Monastery in France, with further training in India, Nepal, and Myanmar, complemented by more than four years in solitary retreat working deeply with Tibetan sūtra and tantra alongside the Burmese Theravāda Forest Tradition.

For the past eighteen years he has taught Buddhist philosophy, psychology, and meditation internationally. The Buddha Project, founded in 2023, is in part a gesture of gratitude toward the legacy of his principal teachers, Geshe Tengye and Lama Zopa Rinpoche — offering sustained guidance for serious meditators, fostering dialogue between traditions, and supporting scientific research into contemplative practice.
