This Heruka Vajrasattva jenang (permission to practice) is organized for our 3-month Vajrasattva retreat and is only open to those who will take the initiation.
The teachings and initiation will be in Tibetan, with English translation by Geshe Kelsang Wangmo.
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.
