His Holiness the Gyalwa Karmapa and Lama Lodu Rinpoche

His Eminence Kalu Rinpoche and Lama Lodu Rinpoche

His Eminence Kalu Rinpoche will be visiting in 2010. Please check web site, as updates become available.

His Eminence Yangsi Kalu Rinpoche was born September 17, 1990. He was officially recognized as the reincarnation of Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche by Tai Situ Rinpoche and confirmed as such, by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He was enthroned at Samdrup Darjay Choling Monastery in Sonada, India at a profound ceremony of investiture.

He made his first worldwide tour accompanied by his parents and the Venerable Bokar Rinpoche in June of 1995. His interest in meditation, chanting, calligraphy and the traditional musical instruments revealed his deep affinity for Dharma activity. Later he attended the Kagyu Monlam Prayer Gathering in Bodhgaya and did his formal studies at Bokar Monastery.

His Eminence Kalu Rinpoche received the complete Empowerments of the Shangpa Kaygu Lineage from the Venerable Bokar Rinpoche. Thereafter, he entered into the traditional Shangpa Kagyu Retreat at Bokar Monastery, which he completed in 2008. He then completed the three year retreat in the Karma Kagyu tradition.

We are extremely grateful to His Eminence Kalu Rinpoche whose sole purpose in life is to bring benefit to all beings and who through his commitments and diligence to continue unbroken the precious transmissions of the Shangpa and Karma Kagyu lineages, ensuring that the precious teachings remain available to those who seek to walk upon the blessed Path to Liberation.
