Meet Nawang Dechen

Nawang Dechen is the name my Tibetan Buddhist teacher, Geshe Nawang Dakpa, gave me when I took refuge with him.  Nawang Dechen means one who has "good speech."  Living up to my Buddhist name continues to be one of my life's challenges.

Finding Mahayana Buddhism

Buddhists believe that it may take many lifetimes to come to Mahayana Buddhism; it happens when your karma ripens.  Like many fellow Buddhists in lifetimes mired in obscurations, I believe that my karma and intentions brought me finally to my teachers.  I am a practitioner in the Gelug tradition of Lama Tsong Khapa.

Coming soon...my journey to Tibetan Buddhism.
