About the Presenter:
Lama Lobsang Palden is an accomplished Tibetan lama who teaches Yantra Yoga and Buddhist meditation. Lama Lobsang was discovered as a tulku as a young boy, when Jungan Rinpoche recognized him as the reincarnation of the Nyingma guru yoga master Rinzen Karma Dorje. He studied all aspects of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and practice at Amdo Tashi Kyil and Kaja To Monasteries in Eastern Tibet. He was initiated as a Ngakpa lama in 2011 at Lhabrang Monastery in Tibet.
Lama Lobsang specializes in Medicine Buddha practice and is a gifted energy healer who has received His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s blessing to practice healing work. He learned Tibetan Yantra Yoga and Tibetan Healing Massage from Rinzen Geshe Nyima, a Tibetan doctor who was a healing lama, and he inherited his grandfather’s extraordinary healing gifts, who was also a lama and yogi.
Lama Lobsang left Tibet at age 18, escaping across the Himalayas on foot. He lived at Tashi Kyil Monastery in Dehra Dun, India, for 10 years. He has received many teachings from H.H. the Dalai Lama and other Tibetan masters, including the 10th Panchen Lama, H.H. the Sakya Trizin, and Mindrolling Trichen Rinpoche. He is both a Rime and a Ngakpa lama who teaches all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. He is known and beloved for his deep, abiding respect for the Three Jewels, as he travels the world sharing the precious Buddhist Dharma. Learn more at http://www.lamalobsang.com.
