Hemant Pandya

Hemant Pandya has been attracted to Buddhism since 1994 when he met Tibetan monks from Drepung Loseling Monastery when they performed "Sacred Music, Sacred Dance" for world harmony at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Since then he has studied Buddhism and visited Nepal twice further deepening his interest in Dharma.

Hemant feels very fortunate to have found the Kadampa Center and the precious teachings offered by its Sangha. He is pleased to serve the Center and its community. He resides in North Raleigh, is married and has two grown children.
