Looking for a teacher in China

Post by joehaz21 »

Hello everyone I'm living in Chengdu China and am looking for a teacher in the Kagyu or Gelug schools. I have had a hard time finding a teacher here mostly because I don't speak Tibetan or Chinese . I really want to start practicing under the guidance of a teacher and go for refuge . If any one knows of any temples or or centers in Chengdu or Sichuan province I would be very thankful . Also I am looking for someone how can speak some English and I know that's going to be hard. And if it is not possible for me to find a teacher here in Sichuan right next to Tibet then I would like to look for a teacher in India if you have any suggestions? thanks everyone

If you don't speak Chinese or Tibetan it's going to be very difficult because most Tibetan lamas in the PRC don't know any English at all. You can try going to Wuhouci (the Tibetan area) to ask around.

There are some places in Golok where the Lamas have studied abroad.

I'm not certain about Tibet or China. But there are qualified (*english speaking or w/translator available) teachers in India. When will you be in India and for how long?

I would plan on going to India March next year and will be staying for a month - two months . Please if you know any English speaking Lama/guru that would accept me as a student I would be appreciative . I would like to study the Kagyu sect so if you know anyone please tell me they're names. I would like to look them up online and mybe send them an email . thanks again .
