If you've never heard of Tiplice, Georgia,

you gotta come visit.

It's a beautiful, incredible city

He is the man who was brought on to the Marvel film, Dr Strange, to advice, get this Benedict

Now Thukten emerged out of that experience as one of the wisest most incredible souls I've

ever met in my life and every time we put him on stage, he is a remarkable hit.
