Ven. Jhado Tulku Rinpoche

Rinpoche was born in Tibet in 1954 and at the age of three was recognised as the 6th reincarnation in the lineage of Jhado Tulku. After escaping from the Chinese occupation, Rinpoche studied at Sera Je Monastery - where he received extensive teachings by many great lamas as Khensur Rinpoche and the great master Lobsang Wangchuk - and after at the Gyuto Tantric Monastic University. He held the degree of Geshe Lharampa, the highest rank in the Gelugpa School. Rinpoche received many transmissions from both his Holiness the Dalai Lama and His tutors, including the  great non-sectarian lineage Masters such as Trulshig Rinpoche and Chogye Trichen Rinpoche. He was the Abbot of Namgyal Monastery in Dharamsala, India, from 1997  to 2004. The Namgyal Monastery, founded in 1568 by the third Dalai Lama,  served as a private monastery for the subsequent Dalai Lamas.
