TENZIN WANGYAL RINPOCHE
The founder and spiritual director of Ligmincha International, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is a respected and beloved teacher and meditation master in the Tibetan Bön Buddhist tradition. He teaches in more than 25 countries around the world and reaches thousands of students through his many books and online programs.
Bön is among the oldest indigenous spiritual traditions in the world. It originated in Central Asia and eventually took root in what is now Tibet. The earliest teachings of Bön come from Tonpa Shenrap, a fully enlightened being (a Buddha), more than 17,000 years ago according to the Bön tradition. As a monk Rinpoche completed an 11-year course of traditional studies at the Bön Dialectic School of Menri Monastery near Dolanji, India, where he was awarded his geshe degree in 1986. He now lives as a householder, and has been living and teaching in the West for more than 30 years.
Rinpoche is known for the depth of his wisdom and his unshakeable commitment to helping students recognize their true nature, and for distilling profound, ancient teachings down to their essence while conveying them in an authentic, highly accessible way. You don’t need a background in Buddhism or spirituality — or any experience with meditation — to enjoy and benefit from his free CyberSangha teachings.
