Seeing the Benefits with Geshe Gelek Choda
Geshe Gelek Choda became a Buddhist monk when he was seven years old. He traveled from his home in Sikkim in northeastern India to Bylakuppe in the south, where monks who had escaped from Tibet were rebuilding the Sera Je Monastery.
When Geshe Gelek arrived to join Sera Je, the beautiful buildings that stand today were not built yet. The monks were living in crude tents. Geshe Gelek immediately missed his family and his home in Sikkim. But home was thousands of miles away.
In this episode, Geshe Gelek describes the monks’ rigorous daily routine: waking early in the morning to spend the day attending classes and debate sessions, studying, meditating, praying, and studying more until late at night.
He explains how we can all learn to think in ways that help us face difficulties and challenges, and how thinking can help us reduce anxiety, stress, and fear.
