Corey Jackson received a Khyentse Foundation Award for Excellence in Buddhist Studies at Sydney University for his work in Sanskrit and Psychology in 2014. Last month he had an opportunity to meet Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche during Rinpoche's visit to Australia. Rinpoche said he was very happy that Corey was pursuing his academic degrees. “It's so important. Academic Buddhist study is the insurance for Buddhist study and practice in the future.”
