|introbuddhism=My first introduction to Buddhism was at Kopan Monastery in 1989. It was a blessing to receive teachings and empowerments from Geshe Lama Konchog, whose words of wisdom left an immense imprint, and remain with me to this day. Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Lhundrup Rigsel and Yangsi Rinpoche also taught during this month long immersion into Buddhism. Returning to South Africa, I met Ven. Godwin Samararatne who was leading a month retreat at Ixopo Buddhist centre. It was a deep and personal connection, we stayed in touch afterwards and I joined retreats he led in UK, Netherlands and Sri Lanka. I moved to the Netherlands and studied with Geshe Sonam Gyaltsen and Geshe Ngawang Zopa at the Maitreya Institute. | |introbuddhism=My first introduction to Buddhism was at Kopan Monastery in 1989.
