His Eminence Kangyur Rinpoche Lobsang Choephel was born in 1920 in
Tibet, in a small village called Medoe Chumba near Lhasa.At the
tender age of 9, Rinpoche became a monk in the renowned monastic
university - Gaden Shartse Monastery in Tibet. Gaden Shartse
Monastery provided Rinpoche his foundational studies of Tibetan
Grammar, and he grew up focusing on the study of various Buddhist
philosophies. Rinpoche received many precious lineage teachings
from highly-realised Masters such as Kyabje Trijiang Rinpoche and
Kyabje Ling Rinpoche; and practised meditation under their
guidance.
In 1959 due to the chinese occupation, Rinpoche escaped to India.
There, he lived in a hill station called Dalahousie, and together
with other monks of Gaden Shartse, they continued their practice of
daily prayer rituals as they would perform in the Monastery.
Rinpoche also continued his studies and received many teachings
from his Guru, the great Lama Kyabje Panang Rinpoche, and devoted
most of his time in the intensive practice of Lam Rim.
In 1974, by the request of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama,
Rinpoche went to Kennour (near Spiti, India) to impart the
teachings of the Buddhist scripture – Kangyur, to further spread
Buddhism there. Geshe-la gave the oral transmission of the Kangyur
teachings for a whole duration of ten months, and on the last day,
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama visited Kennour personally - as
deeply wished by all villagers. Rejoicing in the unfaltering effort
and commitment to teaching, His Holiness conferred the title of
“Kangyur Rinpoche” upon Geshe-la.
In 1975, Rinpoche undertook examinations and got the Geshe degree.
In 1976, Rinpoche was specially selected to represent Gaden Shartse
Monastery in the World Tour – together with 8 other monks. That was
the first World Tour that Monastery ever organized, and the monks
spent nearly a year traveling various Western countries to spread
the Buddha’s teachings, Tibetan culture as well as performed prayer
rituals.
Rinpoche was also specially nominated by Kyabje Trijiang Rinpoche
to undertake the position of the Abbot of Gaden Choeling Nunnery in
Macloganc, Dharamsala. He held abbotship for 15 years, and due to
his dedicated effort and wisdom in managing the welfare of the
Nunnery, their education system has since developed and improved
tremendously.
Rinpoche had always wanted to stay in spiritual retreat for his
whole lifetime. However, because he was a very rarely skilled
talent in healing practices, His Holiness had specially requested
for Rinpoche to undertake retreats of a few months each year only.
This would enable Rinpoche to continue healing and caring for the
sick patients who flock in search of his name.
Today, Rinpoche is 90 years old and resides permanently in
Dharamsala. Many centers from all over the world have requested for
Rinpoche to visit, but due to age, Rinpoche declined to travel.
Hence this time Dro-Phen Ling is truly honoured that Rinpoche has
most compassionately agreed to visit our centre. We are calling out
to all of you (or people whom you know) who have encountered any of
the above-mentioned problems. This is an exclusive visit especially
to help and benefit the people of Singapore, hence do treasure this
opportunity to seek His blessings and guidance.
