About Me

I study, and try to practice, Vajrayana Buddhism. My main areas of interest are Chod, Kagyu and Nyingma traditions as well as Buddhisms interactions with the West, pop-culture and engaged Buddhism.

There is a week of summer school left. Then a two week break before translator training starts. The two weeks will be spent studying and possibly a few days in retreat.

Today has mostly been spent talking Tibetan with two monk friends of mine from the time when I was living in D'sala. One of them is a Khenpo at Sherab Ling and the other is currently running Lama Wangdus monastery. Following recent meetings with various fake monks, Lamas and tulkus, it's awesome to be reminded that there are not only genuine practitioners out there, but genuine sangha.
