He studied with Rinpoche and several other teachers in the Namgyal lineage over a period of thirty-five years. Lama Gerry has received encouragement and advice from both Venerable Tai Situ Rinpoche and His Holiness the 17th Karmapa. He has also established the Rural Dharma Centre, a rustic retreat centre located on sixty acres of poplar forest, thirty miles east of Winnipeg. In secular life, Gerry is an internationally published author, lecturer, and photographer.

The Dharma centre of Winnipeg has constructed a World Peace Pagoda behind the St. Norbert Arts Centre. Just head down Pembina Highway and follow the signs.

It was constructed under the direction of the Venerable Sayadaw U Thile Wunta of Burma. Located just beside the river, it is a beautiful and highly spiritual piece of architecture.
