Thupten Donyo, a visionary Buddhist monk from the Himalayan foothills of Nepal, leads one of the Bay Area's largest Tibetan monasteries—an invaluable sanctuary for Tibetan culture and community in the diaspora. He wears many hats at the monastery—prayer leader, spiritual guide, gardener, and even Halloween party planner! Now, nearing retirement, he hopes to find a worthy successor to carry forward the Monastery's legacy.
