Yangten Rinpoche
Sunday, May 28th @ 8am – 4pm
Tushita is delighted to host this one day event with Yangten Rinpoche on request of a large Vietnamese group.
This will be a full-day event. Everybody is welcome, but especially suitable for those who have received the Chenrezig Initiation.
Rinpoche will teach in Tibetan and there will be English translation available by Geshema Kelsang Wangmo. To receive the translation please bring a FM radio and headphones!
You can see a short biography of Yangten Rinpoche below and a more extensive biography of Yangten Rinpoche, composed by Tenzin Tsepag (HH the Dalai Lama’s English Translator) here.
Yangten Rinpoche was born in Kham, Tibet in 1978. He was recognised as a tulku aged 10, and enthroned at Kandze Monstery. In 1990, at the unusually young age of 12, he entered the Geshe program at Sera Mey Monastery and graduated with a Geshe Lharampa degree (with distinction) in 2007, aged only 29.
In 2008 Rinpoche was called up by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to work in His Holiness’ Private Office and has assisted His Holiness on many projects, including being selected to to compile a book on Buddhist Science, from the Kangyur and Tengyur.
Yangten Rinpoche also composed a long-life prayer entitled “Panacea of Pure Nectar” for Lama Zopa Rinpoche, following his illness in 2011, which you can read here. You can also see a poem written by Yangten Rinpoche called “I Love You, my enemy “here.
Below are two recent photos of Yangten Rinpoche at work in the office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
