Venerable Losang Donyo
Losang Donyo was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1987. He had the remarkable fortune to learn under a consummate scholar-practitioner of the pre-1959 generation of Tibetans, Namgyal Khensur Gen Wangdak, starting in 2003 while living in Connecticut. After training under the caring guidance of Ven. Thubten Chodron and the Sravasti Abbey community from 2010-2012, he moved to India where he studied basic Tibetan language and introductory Buddhist logic and philosophy at Sarah College for Higher Tibetan Studies, Dharamsala. After receiving novice ordination from Ganden Trizur Rinpoche Lobsang Tenzin, he transferred to Sera Jey Monastery in south India, where he is currently engaged in the Geshe studies program. He enjoys leading courses and creating learning materials for English-speakers to learn the Nalanda Tradition of debate and logic.
