Full Schedule of Teachings & Retreat
with Venerable Losang Gendun
New York, Sep-Oct, 2025
Below are photos from the 2025 visit and a sincere and inspiring reflection from one of Ven. Gendun’s students:
“Ven. Gendun’s 2025 NYC visit was a life-changing experience for me. His compassion was profound, and his words of wisdom, exquisite. Immersed in his daily meditation practice and in-depth teachings, I discovered my own voice in poetry. Poetry has become my way of breathing with both the seen and the unseen—finding compassion and wisdom in the still space between them. With deepest gratitude to Venerable Gendun,”
— Yuko Mulugetta

About the Teacher
![]()
Venerable Losang Gendun has spent nearly four decades in Buddhist practice, and has been living as a fully ordained gelong in the Tibetan tradition for the past twenty years. His training spans ten years of monastic study across France, India, Nepal, and Myanmar, and more than four years in solitary retreat in the Tibetan Mahayana and the Burmese Theravāda traditions.
For the past eighteen years he has taught Buddhist philosophy, psychology, and meditation worldwide within FPMT, serving the vision of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. In 2023, as a gesture of gratitude to his teachers, he founded The Buddha Project (TBP), offering long-term guidance for serious meditators. TBP webpages serve as the online learning platform for its core programs, the FPMT In-Depth Meditation Training and the FPMT Ngondro Lamrim Training.
