The Perfection of Wisdom tradition is one of the two great
philosophical traditions of Mahāyana Buddhism. It is closely
associated with Nagārjuna who is said to have retrieved the texts
from the Nagas.
Rinpoche was born on 27th July 1940 in Menya, Eastern Tibet. In
1945, Rinpoche was recognized as the reincarnation of the 9th
Kyabgoen of Dagyab (Patron of Dagyab). Rinpoche studied in Drepung
monastery, one of the 3 main monastic universities in Central Tibet
and has also achieved the title of Geshe Lharampa (a qualification
which is equivalent to the PHD degree in Indian universities), and
is the highest degree in Tibetan Buddhism.
Rinpoche travels to many parts of the world to give teachings,
and is especially known in the West for his practise-oriented,
intensive and enthusiastic way of teaching Tantra. Rinpoche has
since given Dharma teachings in many parts of the world including
Holland, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, America, Singapore,
Malaysia, India and Tibet. In his teachings, he emphasizes the
importance of practicing the Buddha Dharma in a simple way without
cultural bias and he greatly encourages his students to integrate
Buddhist practice into daily life. He teaches in Tibetan, English
and German language.
