He later pursued study for several years with a  renowned nun. (It was unusual for a man to seek teachings from a woman.)  He eventually pursued formal monastic education in both the Gelukpa and  Nyingma traditions. He fled Tibet to India in 1959. He had a close  relationship with Dudjom Rinpoche, who asked him to teach in Japan for  ten years as his representative. After that period, he spent the rest of  his life in India and Nepal.  ANNE CAROLYN KLEIN is professor of religious studies at Rice University  in Houston, Texas, and founding director and resident teacher at Dawn  Mountain, a Tibetan temple, community center, and research institute,  also in Houston.","brand":"Snow Lion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304176111845,"sku":"NP9781559394383","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781559394383.jpg?v=1767737391","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/strand-of-jewels-isbn-9781559394383","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
