Geshe Tenzin

Damoche

Lecturer and Coordinator of Sarah College of Higher Tibetan Studies, Geshe Tenzin Damoche is a monk who believes not in blind faith, but in developing faith through wisdom and mindfulness, with sports as a road to universal compassion. Featured on Episode Three of NBA Hoop Nation: Zen in the Dunk, Geshe Tenzin Damoche is the exemplar of moral values to the hundreds of children in his charge.

Jagdeep

Bains

Featured on the final episode of NBA Hoop Nation: LBA se NBA, former police officer and Captain of both the Punjab Team and the Indian Basketball Team, Jagdeep Singh Bains is an inspiration to his team of NBA hopefuls.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
