Resident Teacher
Kelsang Lhachog is the resident teacher at Vairochana Centre and Geshe-la's representative in Manchester.
Lhachog has been studying and practising Buddhism for many years as a student of Geshe-la's and before moving to be Resident Teacher in Carlisle in 2007 she lived and studied at Manjushri Centre for over 7 years. Lhachog teaches the study programme classes and courses and Vairochana Centre.
When asked what brought her to Buddhism Lhachog said:
'I was unhappy. I had all the external conditions I should need to be happy with a good job in America, money, lots of friends etc but still I felt there was something I wasn't understanding. I started learning about meditation and Buddhism and it made sense. Happiness is a state of mind and no matter how good my external conditions were without cultivating peace within I realised I would never be happy.'
