HIS EMINENCE GARCHEN RINPOCHE was born in East Tibet in 1937.
He is a lifelong practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism. During China’s Cultural Revolution in 1959, he was imprisoned for 20 years. While imprisoned, he secretly cultivated meditation practices that transformed his difficulties and hardship into love and compassion, realizing his "wisdom" mind. Upon his release in the 1980’s, he supported the rebuilding and building of monasteries, gave birth to global centers which are continuing to flourish, and teaches in over 30 countries worldwide.
He has lived a life of unwavering dedication for the benefit of all beings, even in the face of life’s most difficult challenges. Through his life experiences and teachings, he models how love is the cause of happiness, and that every action and perception can be transformed into love.
