Ryan Oelke spent four years in the MA program at Naropa University studying Indo-Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan language . This program sequence was based on formal Tibetan monastic college training and study, focusing on Abhidharma, Buddhist epistemology, philosophical systems, Madhyamaka, buddhanature, and the study of major Indian texts and Tibetan commentaries, in addition to contemplative meditation. In his Tibetan classes he translated sections of the Jewel Ornament of Liberation by Gampopa, portions of a text on the twelve links of interdependent origination, and the Tale of the Tigress . Currently, he is working on an independent translation of a Bardo text with Acharya Lama Tenpa Gyaltsen. Ryan practices following the Dzogchen and Buddhist teachings of Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche.

In addition to his studies at Naropa Ryan has completed a graduate MSEd degree in Counseling Pyschology at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. In undergrad he studied percussion performance, sound engineering, and Spanish.
