Meeting Mingyur Rinpoche in 2017 marked the start of his formal Vajrayana training. Arun now leads Joy of Living meditation groups in Nepal and teaches Buddhist philosophy at Lumbini Buddhist University. He also leads the Buddha Prakash Foundation, promoting traditional Buddhist teachings and contemplative practices. Arun holds a Master’s in Buddhist Studies from the University of Hong Kong and lives in Kathmandu with his wife and twin sons.)
