The sangha of Lotus Garden is honored and delighted to welcome Ven. Tulku Dakpa Gyaltsen Rinpoche. Rinpoche will arrive at Lotus Garden on June 26th and has most graciously agreed to begin preparing our Buddha statue for filling and consecration. Rinpoche is very learned with regard to rituals and liturgies, particularly with regard to the filling and consecration of statues, so we are extremely
blessed by his generosity.
Born in 1975, Rinpoche was recognized by H.H. Mindrolling Trichen Rinpoche as the 3rd reincarnation of Gegong Rokza Sonam Palge Rinpoche. He began his studies at Dzogchen Monastery, and joined the 'Ogmin Ogyen Mindrolling Monastery' in Dehra Dun, India in 1992. Rinpoche completed his studies at the Ngagyur Nyingma College, which is the shedra at Mindrolling Monastery in India. Rinpoche has been teaching for many years now and is currently the spiritual director and founder of the Dhanakosha Centers in Europe. He currently resides and teaches in Finland. While in the US Rinpoche will also travel to the Nalandabodhi center in New York City for a weekend of teachings.
