Geshe Gyalten is the spiritual director of Awakening Vajra International.
Geshe Gyalten was born in Lhasa, Tibet in 1967, into a family who were closely connected to the great yogi and scholar H. E. Choden Rinpoche.
Geshe Gyalten Kunga (Tibetan: དགེ་བཤེས་རྒྱལ་བསྟན་ཀུན་དགའ, Wylie: dge-bshes rgyal-bstan kun-dga'), founder and spiritual director of Awakening Vajra International, was born as Tseten Gelek on June 27th, 1966 in Bomdhila, moving to Lhasa during his infancy. His grandmother, his mother Yangka, and Tenpa Tsering, his father, were long-standing devotees of H.E. Kyabje Choden Rinpoche, serving His Eminence during the latter's solitary retreat of 19 years. Geshe Gyalten recounts.[1] that successfully consulting H.E. Kyabje Choden Rinpoche with regards to a serious skin condition Tseten Gelek was suffering at the age of six was pivotal in the forming of a personal relationship between himself and H.E. Kyabje Choden Rinpoche[1]. It is at this time that the wish to enter the ordained life had taken root in the young Tseten Gelek.[2]
Geshe Gyalten recounts that he used to accompany his father on trans-Himalayan trading trips that consisted of mercantile activity between Nepal, China, Tibet, and India. Geshe Gyalten has one brother who is overseeing the running of his father's business...
Recorded in 2016, this was the first time Geshe la had taught in the UK – an auspicious occasion and a wonderful evening. Whilst the subject, one at the very heart of any understanding of Buddhism was familiar, the warm and intuitive teaching Geshe Gyalten delivers is a reminder to us all that true altruistic compassion lies in all our hearts. We just need to find our true emotions and… trust them.
According to Geshe Gyalten's web-presence, "Geshe Gyalten met with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, asking for his advice about continuing Rinpoche's projects, such as" the direction of "Awakening Vajra and many related activities including publishing, advancing the Five Branches of Study and many other activities envisioned by [H.E. Chöden] Rinpoche".[2] Geshe Gyalten currently divides his time between his administrative responsibilities, teaching activity of Buddhist philosophy and practice as imparted by H. E. Kyabje Choden Rinpoche, consultation in matters traditional Tibetan medicine, and contemplative practice.[11]
