REV. TENZIN KALSANG LOCHEN TULKU RINPOCHE
Lochen Tulku is the 19th reincarnation of the Great Translator
Rinchen Zangpo (year 958 - 1055) of Tibet, - one of the greatest
scholars and artists of the century. Rinchen Zangpo is believed to
be an emanation of Buddha Shakyamuni. The Buddha stated that he
will come to Himalayas in the future at a certain place "who will
be a bird-faced monk, an emanation of the Muni named with Ratna"
(Rinchen / Precious).
Rinchen Zangpo translated over hundred-text books of Buddha's
doctrine from Sanskrit to Tibetan including the 16 volumes of
Prajana Pramita tantra and many more.During the 10th century, he
was a great temple builder. He built 108 temples throughout the
Himalayan region including Western Tibet. It is said that he built
all these temples overnight through his miracle power. However, we
still have remaining temples in India Himalayan region, such as in
Ladhak, Spiti and Kinnaur. These temples are well known to the
world because of their fine art and architecture work.
Present Rev. T. K. Lochen Tulku Rinpoche was born in Kinnaur Dist.
of Himachal State in Northern India and is honored as a Scholar, a
Master of Buddhist Philosophy and in Tantrayana Buddhism since
1985. He received an intensive and large number of instructions on
both Sutra and Tantra from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, his two
tutors and most respected and practiced master His Eminence Lati
Rinpoche.
He runs monasteries in India Himalayan region and has tens of
thousands of disciples. In Tibet, he belongs to Tashi Lhunpo
Monastic University.
