Show
Pema is a Buddhist meditation and yoga practitioner and teacher. He lost both of his parents early in his childhood which led him to a deep spiritual seeking. By 27, he gave away all of his belongings, dropped his professional music career, and went to study and live with various Lamas and yogis around the world, to find answers to his questions. He follows the non-sectarian Khyentse (Wisdom-Compassion) lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Some of his most important teachers are H.H. The Dalai Lama, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, and Mingyur Rinpoche.
