Tashi Tshering was a student from University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. He was a Tibetan and sent Merton the book Tibet's Great Yogi Milarepa, edited by W. Y. Evans-Wentz. Tashi Tshering worked at University of Washington's Tibetan Research Project. He met Merton through a visit to Gethsemani in 1961 and later wrote a letter.
