His students have ranged from absolute beginners to distinguished monks and nuns, from the homeless of Asia to many successful and influential business people. He gave up his life and successful career in search of more meaning to his life. His journeys took him to the islands of Indonesia, the foothills of the Himalaya’s in India, and the forests of Myanmar (Burma). After some years of retreat, he left the monastery where he had resided and decided to travel back home to the West to teach. His decision to do so was rooted in a determination to discover for himself whether these practices and the wisdom they pointed to could be upheld and developed within the context of a modern western life. Today he teaches those who wish to learn meditation on retreats across the UK and in France.

10) Buddhist Geeks Buddhist Geeks was original conceived by Vincent Horn & Ryan Oelke in 2006 and the Buddhist Geeks Podcast was subsequently launched at the beginning 2007.  It instantly become one of the most downloaded podcast in the Buddhist category, and has since been downloaded 10+ million times. In 2010 Vincent Horn took over as the sole creative behind Buddhist Geeks and launched a Digital Magazine & In-Person Conference.  The Buddhist Geeks Conference continued for 4 years (2011-2014), with over a 1000 people attending the event during this time.   The exposure from the Conference helped propel Buddhist Geeks to a new level of public notoriety and cultural influence. During this time the Buddhist Geeks also experimented with a number of virtual practice & community forms, including the Buddhist Geeks Life Retreat & Buddhist Geeks Dojo.  These projects were put to rest when Vincent Horn & Emily Horn moved their formal teaching activities to a new project, Meditate.io.  Soon after this Buddhist Geeks itself was shut down (there was even a Death Poem). In 2017 Buddhist Geeks began to once again stir from the bardo and has subsequently been reborn.  Going back to it's roots, it has come back with the Buddhist Geeks Podcast and is kicking off with a new series (more info forthcoming!)
