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.

“It’s not clear on your site HOW AMAZING the nature is!! I was blown away at the beauty and would have preferred an OUTDOOR retreat because of how epic the woods and creek were.”

“Menla is a truly inspiring place to live and work. I can’t imagine a better environment in the US for me to be of service, help a very meaningful cause, and learn about Tibet, Buddhism, yoga, and the world of health & wellness. I have a tremendous amount of gratitude for Robert & Nena Thurman’s vision, not to mention for everyone else who helps make Menla a place I can feel genuinely proud to work for.”
