Education

I am TEFL Certified. My experience comes from volunteering in India for P.H.D. level graduates from the three main Tibetan Universities/monasteries located in South India. These students were designated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to learn the English language. I have also taught graduates English at a large monastery in Northern India for 3 years to different ranges of English levels using both classroom styles and supplementing with conversation classes. I have been in the Dharma since I was eight years old and have now been a fully ordained monk in the Tibetan tradition for just under four years. I study at a large monastery in Northern India, but currently I am in The U.S. and am saving for my return to India to complete my studies so that I can bring Dharma to the West.

Experience: 26 years

About me

Learn Dharma terminology in English. It's quite common to study Dharma in your own language, but more and more Buddhist teachers are teaching in an English forum. Learn the common terms used in Dharma talks and better understand them.
