“Being introduced to Sifu Yeung has dramatically changed my life. Within a few days of our first meeting, I made request to Sifu to be accepted as his student. Two weeks later a group of Pathgate students and I went with Sifu to South India for the Namcho Ngondro retreat at Sifu's Root Guru His Holiness Penor Rinpoche's Namdroling Monastery. Upon my return to the UK six weeks later, I relocated my home from Cyprus to Newcastle so that I could become a student of the Pathgate Institute of Buddhist Studies. The Dharma teachings are something I reflect on daily and try to put into practice because I found them to be of tremendous benefit. I feel immense support from my fellow students. It is like having an additional family who share the same aspiration and goal. The teachings are very powerful. They require self-awareness and continued effort to do what is right. Although at times challenging, I know that ultimately I am doing the right thing for the greater benefit of the greater many.”
