About the Teacher

It is an extraordinary opportunity to receive this training directly from Geshe Lobsang Tenzin Negi, Ph.D., one of the original developers of the CBCT® program.

Trainings led by Geshe-la are rarely offered outside of major institutions—and almost never in Hawaiʻi. This is a unique chance to study with the main teacher of the tradition in an intimate setting, at a significantly accessible tuition.


Geshe Lobsang Tenzin Negi, Ph.D. is a senior teacher and co-developer of CBCT®, Executive Director of Emory University’s Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics, and a lifelong practitioner and scholar of Tibetan Buddhism.
