Tibetan Buddhism's Geshe Degree | Geshe Namdak

Geshe Namdak explains how, in the monastic system, the path to becoming a geshe or geshema involves an intense study program of 20 to 25 years, culminating in a graduation that signifies not just academic achievement but a profound personal transformation. This program is akin to being in retreat for two decades, focusing on the Buddhist doctrine to understand and deal with the mind, its philosophy, and eliminate ignorance. Despite its challenges and the high dropout rate, the journey is transformational, offering a comprehensive understanding of various subjects essential for enlightenment.
