Traveling to Tibet

I embarked on an in-depth exploration of Tibetan Buddhism, visiting seven monasteries from two major sects and engaging in dialogues with abbots and monks on key religious questions. A highlight of this journey was my private audience with the 36th Drikung Kyabgon—His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche—where we discussed Buddhist philosophy, the distinctions between Han and Tibetan Buddhism, and contemporary challenges facing the faith. He also bestowed a blessing upon our group. Additionally, I had the privilege of conversing with Awang Rinpoche of Tashilhunpo Monastery, further deepening my understanding of Tibetan spiritual traditions.
