BUDDHIST MONK STRANDED IN KENTUCKY DUE TO COVID-19 . . . AND, HE LIKES THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY

9/24/2020

 
Phunstok is a Tibetan Buddhist monk from India who has been stranded in the small community of Hopkinsville, KY due to Covid 19. The monk, who was scheduled to return to India in May 2020, had to delay his plans because of travel restrictions. Phunstok has been visiting Hopkinsville (population 31,577) since 2009.

That year he met Dr. Ken Casey, a philosophy professor at Hopkinsville Community College, who was visiting India. Casey invited Phunstok to lecture at the community college. The monk has since become a yearly lecturer at the college and visitor to
Kentucky. He has been using his extended stay in Kentucky as a retreat saying: “All this time in Kentucky is a retreat for me. It’s a good place to retreat. There’s a lot of trees, a lot of birds. Also, so many nice people.”
