Zawa Tulku Rinpoche

Known and loved by his friends and international students for his humor, kindness, and deep perception.

Zawa Tulku Rinpoche was born in 1978 in Dharamsala, India. When Rinpoche was 5 years old, he entered the Buddhist monastic university Gaden Shartse, as instructed by the renowned junior tutor of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche.

 From then until the age of 21, Rinpoche’s life was dedicated to monastic studies under the many great Lamas of Gaden, such as Geshe Gelek Gyatso and his root Guru, Geshe Tsultrim Tenzin. Countless commentaries and teachings on sutra and tantra were conferred to him there.

 Later he was recognized by various Yogis and high Lamas as the incarnation of the previous Zawa Geshe Rinpoche, who was born in Chatreng in the Kham province of Tibet and studied at Gaden Shartse monastery, Tibet. 

In 2001, still under the guidance of his teachers, Rinpoche began to travel the world, visiting Tibet several times where he met and received precious initiations and teachings from high Lamas who had remained there. Returning to the world outside of the Himalayan region, at the request of Dharma centres, he has travelled worldwide giving teachings and initiations and constructing sacred sand mandalas. Geshe Tsultrim Tenzin, Zawa Tulku Rinpoche’s root guru, instructed him to serve the Buddhist community in Canada in 2003, where he took on the role as a resident teacher at Tsongkhapa Meditation Center. Now Zawa Tulku Rinpoche travels mainly to UK, Europe, North America and Southeast Asia at the request of his students, followers and Dharma friends to teach and conduct rituals]

TANTRIC SELF HEALING

Angela Long a qualified homeopath and student of the Late Lama Gangchen Tulku Rinpoche from 1989 until he passed away in 2020. Will be teaching Lama Gangchen’s Self-Healing Methods during the retreat.

These methods contain the essence of the Buddha’s Tantric teachings in a condensed form suitable for the modern world.

Practicing self-healing enables us to:

Purify body, speech and mind.

Recover from tiredness in the gross, subtle and very subtle bodies.

Recharge cell and atom energy.

Transform negative emotions to positive ones.

Relax and wake up.

Angela has been teaching Self-Healing internationally since 1993 Combining visualization, mantra and mudra we discover how to dissolve blockages in our subtle channels, releasing trapped energy and assisting us in realizing our potential.
