Daniel Aitken of Wisdom Publications visited His Eminence Ling Rinpoche in Dharamsala to present him with a copy of The Life of My Teacher, a biography of His Holiness the 6th Kyabjé Yongzin Ling Rinpoche. It was written in the traditional style of a Tibetan spiritual biography by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and translated into English by Gavin Kilty for the Wisdom Publications edition (published this month). This is the only biography His Holiness the Dalai Lama has written himself. It tells the story of H.H. the Dalai Lama’s Principal Teacher, H.H. the 6th Kyabjé Yongzin Ling Rinpoche, whom His Holiness describes as “the greatest influence of my life”.

His Eminence Ling Rinpoche enrolled at Gyuto Tantric Monastery in Dharamsala, India on 9th April 2017, to commence the year of tantric studies that traditionally follows the completion of a Geshe degree. His Eminence received a warm welcome from the Abbot, Disciplinarian, Chanting Master, Administrators, Khangtsen Heads and assembly of monks. The Ling Rinpoche lineage has a strong connection to Gyuto Monastery with the 4th, 5th, and 6th incarnations serving as the Monastery’s Abbot. Rinpoche participated in a debate in the presence of the Abbot and was later joined by other Geshes. A traditional tea and rice ceremony and extensive Heruka Puja were performed.
