about Ven Tenzin Drachom

I am Tenzin Drachom, also known in the world as ex Fred Cheong. I walk the path of a monk–soldier, training the mind with the same discipline a warrior trains the body. Rooted in Tibetan Buddhist practice, my life is shaped by meditation, ethical restraint, and continual self-examination. I regard hardship as instruction and daily life as the ground of practice. Guided by devotion, humility, and bodhicitta, I seek clarity without aggression and strength without pride. My aspiration is simple: to conquer ignorance within myself and transform each moment into a cause for awakening, for the benefit of all beings.
