About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa is one of the last generations of Tibetan Buddhist scholars to begin their educational careers in Tibet prior to the Chinese invasion. He has played an instrumental role in the reestablishment and preservation of Tibetan Buddhist traditions in exile, and in the spread of Tibetan Buddhism to the Western world. Highly regarded for his scholarship and depth of religious practice, Rinpoche has taught around the US, including in New York, Washington D.C., Bay Area FPMT Centers in California, and at Do Ngak Kunphen Ling (DNKL), a Tibetan Buddhist center in Connecticut, where he hosted a visit from H.H. the Dalai Lama in 2012.
He is abbot emeritus of Gyumed Tantric College, head of Sera Mey College’s Thewo regional house at Sera Monastery—one of the largest Tibetan monasteries in exile—and Spiritual Director of DNKL where he visits regularly. When Rinpoche returns to India yearly, he often teaches and advises many of the most esteemed young tulkus. He resides most of the year in the Bay Area, California.
