About Pastor David Lai

A student of H.E. Tsem Rinpoche since the early 00s, Pastor David Lai began his spiritual career in our Dharma stores before transitioning to a writing role in our publishing house. Heeding Rinpoche's advice, he began his literary career with the publication of his first book and autobiography, There’s No Way But Up in 2009. His other books include Vajrayogini and Other Sacred Power Places in Nepal, Tales My Lama Told Me, and Conversations in Love. His latest book is Insightful Meditation.

Having received innumerable teachings and practices from Rinpoche over the years, Pastor David passionately shares his knowledge and experience in Dharma classes and talks, and is often sought out by newer students for guidance and clarification whenever a question arises. In 2014, he was ordained as a pastor to realise his wish to continue serving the spiritual needs of the community.
