I first met Khenpo Pema Wangdak in 1986, when I was looking for a teacher to help me learn Tibetan for a journey I took the following year.
Although I did learn some basic phrases (including “You are pretty” and “I am from the United States”), I discovered that Tibetan is an extremely difficult language to learn, at least for me.
But I always enjoyed visiting Khenpo Pema in New York, where since 1989 he has been director of the Vikramasila Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to bringing meditation and the wisdom of the Buddha to the West.
