About Yeshe

Yeshe, a Tibetan word that means wisdom, is similar to the Sanskrit term jnana. It can be found in titles such as Lamrim Yeshe Nyingpo, a sacred text in Vajrayana Buddhism containing teachings by Padmasambhava from the 9th century, and in the name of Yeshe Walmo, a deity in the Tibetan Bon religion. Tibetans and Bhutanese individuals use it as a gender-neutral given name, sometimes spelled as Yeshey, Yeshay, or Yeshi.
