Gen-la Chris Yangchen’s teachings:

Gen-la has been teaching since 1992. Her innovative classes have applied the understanding of mind from teaching Tibetan Buddhism in a Traditional Tibetan Medical Institute.

She has developed different teaching styles, approaches, techniques and methods that are powerful antidotes to overcome problems.

Gen-la presents these very different Buddhist classes with humour, understanding and compassion and answers questions in a way that is uncommonly insightful.

Learn to:

• overcome anger, jealousy, anxiety, stress and dependencies
• open up awareness that can lead to natural confidence, calmness and happiness
• transform adversity
• let go
• overcome problems in everyday life and make better decisions
