Adam Kane

After graduating with a degree in neuroscience, Adam began his journey with Buddhism in the year 2001, first encountering the Theravadan lineage of Goenka-ji. After many 10-day silent retreats, he ordained in the Thai Forest tradition of Ajahn Chah in 2002 and stayed full-time in a forest monastery for two years. He met his primary root teacher Tsoknyi Rinpoche in 2004, disrobed and began practicing in the Nyingma and Kagyu lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. He moved to Nepal in 2008 and studied Tibetan language and Buddhist philosophy for seven years full-time, gaining an MA in Buddhist studies. Since 2013, he relocated to Crestone, Colorado and has been translating, writing and developing curriculum for his teachers. In the last several years he has also shared Fully Being to numerous groups and dharma centers and mentored many sangha members around the world. He loves that the dharma path encourages him to not take himself too seriously.
