Enhancing Emotional Resilience in Palliative Care: The Essence of Buddha's Teaching with Geshe Pema Dorjee
Geshe Pema Dorjee returns to UCSF to reflect on the challenges faced by palliative care providers supporting patients and their families.
Geshe Pema Dorjee was born in Tibet in 1951 and escaped to India with his family in 1959. He attended the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala, India where he earned degrees in both Prajnaparamitra and Madhyamika. He became a teacher, and eventually the Director of the Tibetan Childrens Village School in Dharamsala, where he served for over twenty years, helping to recreate and preserve the Tibetan culture and education system for Tibetan children in exile.
In 1995 he was awarded the Geshe degree from the Drepung Loseling monastery in South India and became the first Principal of the College for Higher Tibetan Studies. His Holiness the Dalai Lama asked Geshe-la to revive and promote the Bodong tradition, and with aid from His Holiness, became the founder and Director of the Bodong Research and Publication Center. The Tibetan government in exile appointed him to the Higher Level Textbook Review Committee as well as spiritual counselor to former political prisoners who had been tortured.
In addition to his many charitable projects in Nepal and northeast India, Geshe Pema Dorjee has donated much of his time over the past 30 years to teaching and lecturing about Buddhist philosophy in countries around the world, including Sweden, England, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Finland, Norway, France, Estonia, India, Nepal, and Israel.
Since 2009, Geshe Pema Dorjee has lectured and taught in cities across the United States, including New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Portland, Miami, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Boston and Cambridge.
Geshe-la will be in conversation with UCSF's David Bullard in the series Learning from Dying, with previous speakers including: Thupten Jinpa, Robert Thurman, Isa Gucciardi, Eve Ekman, William (Bill) Richards, Mary Cosimano, Brian Muraresku, BJ Miller, Tony Bossis, Charles Grob, Janis Phelps, Michael Rabow, Phil Wolfson, Shira Maguen, Paul Siegel, Mark Solms and Phil Manfield
We look forward to a meaningful and interesting time together.
