Venerable Steve Carlier was born in the UK and has been studying Buddhism since the late 1970s, when he first met Lama Yeshe, the founder of the FPMT, and most of his other main teachers. He has been an ordained monk since 1979. Under Khensur Jampa Tegchok’s direction, Steve studied at Nalanda Monastery in France from 1982 to 1993, and followed this with eleven years of Geshe studies at Sera Je Monastery in Southern India. Steve has been translating for Khensur Jampa Tegchok since 1989. He has been teaching in the West for many years, sharing his rare experience of living and studying as a Westerner within the traditional Tibetan philosophical system.
