About Me

Born in 1971, I began my study of the Dharma in the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and was ordained in Sera Mey Monastery in 1987. During my 14 years of monastic studies, I was blessed to study with teachers such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama, His Holiness Sakya Trizin, Ven. Khen Sur Rinpoche Ngawang Teecho, Ven. Dhakpa Tulku Rinpoche, and Ven. Geshe Danche Zunpo.After I passed my Geshe Degree in 1997, I traveled to Singapore and Taiwan. In 1998, I accompanied the abbot of Sera Mey University, Ven. Khen Sur Rinpoche Ngawang Teecho, and became his Tibetan-Chinese Dharma translator in Taiwan. Soon I was invited by the Chinese Buddhist Association to be the resident teacher in Taiwan, where I stayed for 3 years. Then I came to the United States to explore the world, meet people from diverse backgrounds, and teach the essence of Buddha Dharma, which transcends culture and ideology. I am fluent in Tibetan, Chinese (Mandarin) and English.Come Join me at my BodhiHeart Dharma Center in Phoenix, AZ.http://www.bodhiheart.org
