Alok's work has been internationally celebrated at the Swedish National Museum of Ethnography, the Seattle Asian Art Museum, the Great Hall of Exhibition in Shanghai, and other venues. He has painted over 1500 Zen Calligraphic Portraits, taught sociology of religion and psychology of transcendence, and translated and published 20 books on meditation in China.
