Venerable Khensur Lobsang Jampa Rinpoche


Venerable monks of Gyuto Vajrayana Center have requested Khensur Rinpoche White Tara Initiation to be given for the occasion of New Year 2012 so that all the members and friends can live long and prosperous lives in the coming years. This event will be held at the Gyuto Center and this is Rinpoche's last teaching for the year at the Gyuto Center.

Venerable Khensur Lobsang Jampa Rinpoche (known as Geshe Trinley Topgye) was born in 1937 in Nyaktren, a sector of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. In 1947, at the age of 10, he gained admission to Sera Me Monastic University near Lhasa - one of the three major seats of highest Buddhist studies. A living example of Buddha's teachings, he divides his time between personal meditation and practices, and teaching a growing network of Western and Tibetan students. He is highly qualified to teach on all levels of Buddhist practice and to conduct all Buddhist rituals. He currently lives and teaches at Do Ngak Kunphen Ling in Redding, Connecticut.
