Dhondup Palden

I hold an MA (Acharya level) in Buddhist Philosophy and a BA (Shastri level) in Tibetan Literature. I previously served as a Senior Lecturer in Tibetan Buddhist Philosophy, deepening my understanding of my tradition. Now, my studies in the Ministry program focus on Buddhist Chaplaincy and guidance counseling, both for Western and Tibetan communities. Receiving the Dalai Lama Graduate Scholarship is a tremendous honor, and I am deeply grateful to His Holiness and everyone involved in this scholarship, which will greatly support my educational journey.
