Manjushri Institute
Manjushri Institute was a large Buddhist college situated at Conishead Priory in England from 1976 until its dissolution in 1991. In 1991 its assets, including Conishead Priory, were transferred to a new centre, Manjushri Mahayana Buddhist Centre, which was later renamed Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre.
== Founding ==
In 1976 the students of Lama Thubten Yeshe founded the Manjushri Institute, a registered charitable company〔Kay page 56; The Manjushri Institute charity registration number: 271873, Trust Deed, July 1976, 1〕 with Lama Yeshe as the spiritual director and purchased the assets of Conishead Priory, a neglected Victorian mansion in Ulverston (Cumbria), England for the price of £70,000.〔Bluck 2006: 129〕〔David N. Kay: ''Tibetan and Zen Buddhism in Britain: Transplantation, Development and Adaptation'', London and New York, pages 55, 56〕 In the same year Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche visited Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in India and invited him to teach at the Manjushri Institute, which was a part of their FPMT network.〔 According to David Kay, they sought the advice of the 14th Dalai Lama when choosing Geshe Kelsang.〔David N. Kay: ''Tibetan and Zen Buddhism in Britain: Transplantation, Development and Adaptation'', London and New York, page 56〕 At first Geshe Kelsang appears to have been reluctant to accept this invitation, but "Lama Yeshe requested Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche (Kelsang's Teacher ) to ask Geshe Kelsang to become Resident Teacher of Manjushri Institute. Geshe Kelsang later recounted that Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche asked him to go to England, teach Shantideva's ''Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life'', Chandrakirti's ''Guide to the Middle Way'' and Lamrim, and then check whether there was any meaning in his continuing to stay." 〔(''Modern Day Kadampas'' - published by the NKT )〕
Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher, monk and scholar from the Gelug Tradition, is a contemporary of Lama Yeshe's from the time they spent studying at Sera Monastery.〔
Geshe Kelsang was requested by Lama Yeshe to lead the "General Program" of Buddhist study. In 1979 Lama Yeshe installed another Geshe at Manjushri Institute, Geshe Jampa Tekchok, to teach a parallel twelve-year Geshe Studies Programme, which was recognized and validated by the Dalai Lama and which was modeled on the traditional Geshe degree.〔Kay, see note on page 232〕 From 1982 to 1990 this program was led by Geshe Konchog Tsewang.〔Kay page 53 and 77〕 According to a disciple of Lama Yeshe from this time, Lama Yeshe intended the institute "to become the central monastery of the FPMT... one of the early jewels of the FPMT crown" and "the pioneer among the western centers".〔
