ABOUT THE TEACHER

One of the first western Buddhist monks in the Tibetan tradition of Mahayana Buddhism, Jhampa met Ven. Lama Yeshe and became one of his first male sangha members in 1971. From that time, Jhampa studied under His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Kyabje Ling Rinpoche and the Ven. Geshe Rabten and Geshe Dhargaye. During this period, Jhampa had the opportunity to study and work as a translator for masters of all four sects of Tibetan Buddhism. By 1980, Jhampa had completed six years of study of the sutras and tantras and four years of short retreats. In the fall of 1980, Jhampa entered the traditional Great Retreat and spent the next three and a half years on the mountain above Dharmsala, India, under the spiritual guidance of Ven. Ling Rinpoche. Upon completing, Jhampa returned to Canada and chose to disrobe. There Jhampa established three Dharma centers on Vancouver Island, after which he was the resident teacher for for the FPMT center Rinchen Zangpo in Mexico.
