Since entering the Palyl choekhorling Nyingmapa monastery in Bir, India, in 1987, Tsering Phuntsok has been a practicing Buddhist monk. For the first 17 years, he studied and practiced in the Nyingmapa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, receiving training in meditation, Buddhist scripture and philosophy, tantric ritual, lama dancing, and music. For several years, he trained young monks in ritual and academic subjects.

He has received many tantric empowerment and sutra teachings from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and many other High Lamas, including H.H. Penor Rinpoche. He currently resides in Nepal. His regular trips to the U.S. are sponsored by a collection of friends, colleges, universities, and foundations.

Milkweed Health & Harmony Emporium in Hopkinsville hosts Tsering Phuntsok on Wednesday, March 15th. He'll lead an informal tea and chat at 4:30 pm before beginning a presentation on sound therapy meditation at 5 pm.
