Richard Josephson

I was born March 9, 1946, and began meditation as a young teen. I have had the good fortune of being a fully ordained bhikshu during ten of those years, under the guidance of Hsuan Hua, head of the Chan School of Buddhism. I also, received lifelong instructions from His Holiness Trulshik Rinpoche, head of the Nyingmapa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism until his passing. I raised a family in Nepal and have three children.
