Pabongka Rinpoche, Jampa Tenzin Trinlay Gyatso (1878-1941)

< Back to Other Teachers Index

Pabongka Rinpoche, Jampa Tenzin Trinlay Gyatso (1878–1941), was one of the great lamas of the twentieth century. He attained his geshe degree at Sera Monastic University, Lhasa, and became a highly influential teacher in Tibet. He was the root guru of both tutors of the present Dalai Lama, and the teacher of many of the other Gelug lamas who have been bringing the Dharma to the West since they fled Tibet in 1959.

Pabongka Rinpoche's book Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand is one of the primary lam-rim texts in the Gelugpa tradition, and is often recommended by Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
