bio	Orgyen Chowang is a meditation master in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. His primary teacher was Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche, one of the most esteemed Dzogchen masters of the last century and founder of the vast Larung Gar Buddhist community in remote eastern Tibet, where tens of thousands of Tibetan and Chinese students continue to benefit from the rigorous study and practice program. Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche was in one of the first small groups that were trained directly under Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche. He has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for many years and is the founder and spiritual director of Pristine Mind Foundation (www.pristinemind.org). He teaches a wide range of students around the world at tech companies, universities, and yoga studios. (Source: Shambhala Publications Accessed August 15, 2024)
