Once a Madden NFL enthusiast and TopGolf fan, he now dons maroon robes, blessing thousands with holy water and peacock feathers. Recognized as a tulku at four months old, Dorje balanced public school, football, and rap music with scripture memorization. His parents, working cleaning jobs, supported his enthronement in India and high school graduation. Now at Shechen Monastery, he plans to return to Minnesota, teaching at a local Buddhist center and aiming to become a leader of peace like the Dalai Lama or Gandhi.
