Who should attend? Anyone with an interest in Buddhism – especially Tibetan
Buddhism – will gain insight into the origins and principles of this 2600 year old tradition, so integral to Tibetan culture. Rimpoche, now a US citizen, relates to western audiences with great warmth and humor, from the perspective of one who was raised as an incarnate lama, and trained by some of the greatest living masters of old Tibet.
Born in Lhasa, Tibet in 1939, Kyabje Gelek Rimpoche was recognized as an incarnate lama at the age of four. Among the last generation of lamas educated in Drepung Monastery before the Communist Chinese invasion of Tibet, Gelek Rimpoche was forced to flee to India in 1959. He was director of Tibet House in Delhi, India and a radio host at All India Radio. Since that time he has taught Buddhist practitioners around the world. In 1988, Rinpoche founded Jewel Heart, a Tibetan Buddhist Center.
