About
Iām Lekden, a Tibetan Buddhist monk, teacher, and translatorā¦ and I read! After finishing my graduate studies I ordained as a monk and moved to a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in southern India, where I have been living and studying since 2011.
My favorite genres are horror, sci-fi, and fantasy, as well as queer fiction in general, but I read across all genres and expect there will be a bit of a mishmash here. My goal with this channel is to release two videos a week, one of which will definitely be a review, and the other might be a review, it might be a tag, or a wrap-up, a reading event, orā¦ who knows? The possibilities are endless.

Authors/publishers: I am currently accepting horror, queer fiction, sci-fi, and fantasy books for review. Email ARockInSamsara (at) gmail.com including synopsis.
