Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche

Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche is a Buddhist master that bridges worlds. Deeply rooted in Tantrayana, Bon, and a Doctor of Tibetan Medicine & Astrology, he presents to the modern world the ancient wisdom and methods, integrating various disciplines into one, as they originally were.

Born in Amdo, north-eastern Tibet, Tulku-la was recognized at the age of 13 as the eighth incarnation of the Nyentse Lama and received the traditional, intensive Buddhist training for a tulku. He is especially a master of Tummo, the inner fire practice.

As founder and director of Nangten Menlang International, his aim is to awaken each of us to our own inner wisdom and inner medicine. With his humorous, charismatic and straight-forward style,Tulku Lobsang skillfully distills the essence of the ancient wisdom into accessible, practical advice.

“I spent the week in a yoga and meditation retreat. What a beautiful place! High in the Catskills mountains, where you can see the stars at night, and the trees are as high as the sky. The accommodations aren’t luxury, but they were perfect. Everybody is so kind and nice. We got to practice different kinds of yoga, and went to a couple of hikes. I felt happy and relaxed. They also have an amazing spa. How have I never heard of this place before? Now I can not wait to go again!”

“Menla is deep in my heart… It’s a profoundly spiritual space, a little slice of Tibet right in the middle of nowhere. Pure mountain air, a walk in the woods, a deep tissue massage, a lounge in the infrared sauna… a morning seemed like a long luxurious weekend. I can’t wait to get back for some the best spa treatments I have ever had. An upstate mountain escape is essential for surviving the pace of NYC life.”

“Menla is an amazing place to spend time. Delicious healthy food, comfortable bed, beautiful scenery, nature. Of course, some of my favorite teachers were there too… Krishna Das, Sharon Salzberg and climbing to the top Bob Thurman. Thanks to the staff who made it possible to enjoy such an inspiring place on this planet.”
