Dr. Robert Alexander Farrar Thurman is an American Buddhist writer and academic. He is the Je Tsong Khapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University. He also is the co-founder and president of Tibet House New York and currently holds the first endowed chair in this field of study in the United States.

Dr. Thurman is highly-regarded for his translations and explanations of Buddhist religious and philosophical material. At the age of 24, he became the first American monk of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. A close friend of Tenzin Gyatso, The 14th Dalai Lama, he has served as occasional translator to him. Thurman’s translations include “The Tibetan Book of the Dead” and “Tibetan Buddhism”.
