Tsoknyi Rinpoche was born in 1966 in Nepal and was educated by many of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist meditation masters of our times. He has taught meditation around the world for over 25 years and is especially loved for his understanding of the Western mind, his humor, and his depth of insight.

He has devoted much of his time learning about the modern West through dialogue with scientists, psychologists and his students. Fully Being is a summary of these many years of practice and inquiry aimed at developing genuine well-being and happiness, what he calls “happiness for no reason”. His most recent humanitarian work includes completing a school for impoverished Nepali village girls in Kathmandu. This allows them the opportunity to receive both Western and traditional Buddhist education. He is the author of Open Heart Open Mind and many other books.
