Compassion is the guiding principle of the bodhisattvas, those who vow to attain enlightenment in order to liberate all sentient beings from the suffering and confusion of imperfect existence. To this end, they must renounce all self-centered goals and consider only the well-being of others.
Tonight Geshe Sherab will be teaching on the different ways to generate the bodhicitta mind that will overcome

Geshe Thubten Sherab was born in 1976 in a small village in the Western part of Nepal to Tibetan parents. He received his education at Kopan Monastery from the time he was a boy, and completed his geshe degree at Sera Je Monastic University in 2000. This was followed by a year of studies at Gyume Tantric College in India.
In 2001 Geshela came to the USA to work at the FPMT International Office. During that time he taught at several FPMT dharma centers in New Mexico. After two and a half years he returned to Nepal to be the Headmaster of Kopan Monastery. Recently Geshela retired from this role in order to have more time to devote to meditation and teaching internationally. The combination of his traditional training and his experience of living in America gives him a deep understanding of Western culture and makes his teachings especially compelling and profound.
For more on Geshe Sherab you can read this story and an interview that were published in FPMT Mandala magazine.
