Teachers: Past and Present
Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa MSTC has the good fortune recently to be able to host teachings from one of the foremost scholars of Tibetan Buddhism in this lineage. Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa a former abbot of Gyumed Monastery, entered Seramey Monastery in Tibet at an early age. After receiving his Hlarampa Geshe degree from Seramey, he entered Gyumed Tantric College. He was later appointed abbot of Gyumed Tantric Monastery by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Khensur Rinpoche is both a scholar of great knowledge and understanding, and a holder of many traditional teaching lineages. His generous presence and contributions to the Sera Mey Monastic University have proven indispensable. A living example of Buddha's teachings, he divides his time between personal meditation and practices, and teaching a growing network of Western and Tibetan students. He is highly qualified to teach on all levels of Buddhist practice and to conduct all Buddhist rituals. Rinpoche has been teaching at MSTC Washington, DC, when he is in the Washington area. For further information about Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche's schedule at the Guhyasamaja Center or at his center, Do Ngak Kunphen Ling, please see resources.
