Sameer’s interest in Buddhism started in 2015 while he was traveling through India. He visited the ancient Buddhist caves at Ajanta and started learning to meditate in Dharamshala. In 2017 he enrolled in a summer course at the Rangjung Yeshe Institute in Nepal. What started off as a two-month trip ended up as a four-year stay, at which point Sameer graduated from Rangjung Yeshe Institute with a BA in Buddhist Studies with Himalayan Languages. He now lives in Goa where he enjoys going to the beach and feeding stray cats. He hopes to make his life meaningful by dedicating it to the Buddhadharma for the benefit of all sentient beings.
