H.E. Venerable Yangthang Tulku Rinpoche is a highly revered Guru in the Nyingma School. He is known to be the embodiment of Vimalamitra, a Dzogchen Master regarded as the chief propagator of Buddhism in Sikkim. Rinpoche has successfully retrieved many Terma Buddhist scriptures which were secretly concealed by Guru Padmasambhava. H.E. Ven. Yangthang Rinpoche was born in the Yangthang family in Sikkim in 1923. Rinpoche was recognized as the reincarnation of Terton Dorje Dechen Lingpa.
In November 1990, Ven. Yangthang Tulku came to KPC and bestowed the complete Ratna LIngpa cycle of revelations, along with the Nyingtik Yabshi. He was accompanied by Ven. Gyatrul Rinpoche.
It is not too late to register for his upcoming visit to KPC on April 23rd – don’t miss this rare and precious opportunity!
Since December 1, 2010, Rinpoche has been conferring the Rinchen Terzod in Alameda, California, at the request of Ven. Gyatrul Rinpoche. The profound cycle of empowerments will continue daily until February 18, 2011. More information at http://www.orgyendorjeden.org/rinchen_terzod.html.
