Geshe Kelsang Wangmo was born and raised in Germany.
In 2011 she became the first nun to be awarded the Rime
Geshe degree, the Tibetan monastic equivalent of a Ph.D. in
Buddhist philosophy, after completing a 17 year course at the
Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala, India. In this
lecture, she discusses some of the principal debates
presented in the Buddhist scriptures that are concerned with
understanding reality.
