For our April-June 2013 issue, Mandala asked Ven. George Churinoff to talk on the value of in-depth Buddhist study. He shared a story about some advice he had received from Lama Yeshe before setting off for the Geshe program at Manjushri Institute in the late 1970s. Unfortunately, our conversation was interrupted and not continued until May 2013, when Ven. George completed his story about Lama Yeshe and Buddhist study – and a very young Tenzin Ösel Hita – for the July-September 2013 issue.
Find the first part of the story “The Purpose of Study” as part of Mandala‘s April-June 2013 online content.
