Biography

I was ordained a Sramanera in the Tibetan tradition on November 26th, 2001, but I've lived in Japan and did a stint in Russia as well.

On May 11th, 2008, I had the great fortune to be ordained a Bikkhu at Dieu Phap, a Vietnamese temple in San Gabriel, CA.

I'm currently in Nepal where I hope to attend the Rangjung Yeshe Institute for an excellent education in Tibetan language and philosophy.

So why is my blog called "A Monk Amok"? Because I keep bouncing around the globe trying to find a way to support myself and still pursue the monk thing. I'm wreaking havoc on samsara! Or is samsara wreaking havock on me?

Interests
