Yangten Rinpoche – Teachings on Chenrezig Practice

November 24, 2022 @ 1:30 – 3:30pm

Tushita is delighted to host this special event with Yangten Rinpoche on request of a large Vietnamese group.

This is a hybrid event – everybody is welcome to attend in person or online via zoom!

Rinpoche will teach in Tibetan and there will be translations into English by Simon Houlton and Vietnamese.

You can see a short biography of Yangten Rinpoche below, or read a more extensive biography of Yangten Rinpoche, composed by Tenzin Tsepag (HH the Dalai Lama’s English Translator) – PDF.

Yangten Rinpoche

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.

After graduation, Rinpoche joined Gyuto Monastery for 2 years and completed the traditional tantric studies there. During his time at Gyuto Monastery, Rinpoche helped His Holiness the Karmapa as a debate assistant.

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.

About Tushita

Tushita is a centre for the study and practice of Buddhism from the Tibetan Mahayana tradition. We're located in Northern India, in the forested hills above the town of McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala - the seat in exile of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Tushita aims to provide a friendly and conducive environment for people of all nationalities and backgrounds to learn about and put into practice the teachings of the Buddha. With this in mind we offer regular drop-in events and courses on introductory Buddhist philosophy and meditation, as well as intermediate level courses and group retreats for more experienced students.
