Tashi Black encountered the Dharma in 2014 and swiftly fell in love. In 2018, he took temporary monastic vows and joined the community at Gampo Abbey, where he lived, practiced, and made large batches of soup for 18 months. From 2019 to 2024, he worked at One Earth Sangha, an organization dedicated to nurturing a Buddhist response to ecological crises. He lives in Brooklyn with two cherished friends and a stubborn but adorable Chow mix named Bandal.
