Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche was born in 1965 in Taiwan to a
Tibetan father and a Mongolian princess from the royal house
of Minh of the Torgut Tribe, a descendant of the famous Mongol
King, Genghis Khan. At the age of 7, Rinpoche was adopted by
a Mongolian-Kalmyk foster family in the United States, where
he had his early education there.
With consultation to his root guru H.H. Kyabje Zong Rinpoche
he entered the great Gaden Monastic University, South India
at the age of 19 where he studied Buddhist Philosophy. At Gaden
Monastery, he was formally enthroned and recognized as the incarnation
of the 60th Abbot of Gaden Shartse Monastery, Ken Rinpoche Gedun
Nyedrak during the time of the Great 13th Dalai Lama. Rinpoche
had a strong wish to stay in retreat but was requested many
times by his teachers to teach the Dharma instead.
In 1996, His Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche was invited to Malaysia
by Malaysian Buddhists to impart Dharma teaching. Nonetheless
he has gained a reputable image among many Malaysian Buddhists
which brought him to travel to many countries in Asia &
Europe to give Dharma discourses. Rinpoche has since resided
in this region to lecture on the Principles of Buddhism.
The concept of Buddhism Rinpoche transmits is appropriately
categorized as “Alternative Buddhism for Alternative People”
suitable for today’s modern, sophisticated and busy society.
His great depth of understanding of Buddhadharma strips off
the superfluous and presents it in a form and manner appropriate
to the needs and conditions of the modern world. Rinpoche is
loved by the modern or non-traditionlists. He is charismatic,
dynamic, compassionate, open-minded and generous and possesses
a highly-developed intellect. |
There is a certain uniqueness and power in the way he conveys
his experiential words of wisdom – it has charm, humor,
openness, humanity and spontaneity that appeals to all.
Rinpoche’s personal life continues to inspire his students
as an immaculate example of someone who has found inner happiness
through practicing Buddha’s teachings. He emphasizes the
importance of discovering ourselves and how to apply Dharma
in our daily life to be truly happy, and how to cultivate a
good heart to help others - and he demonstrates these qualities
perfectly in his own life. This remarkable teacher inspires
many people from many different countries because he teaches
from example. He is humble and dedicated to helping people to
find true happiness in their hearts.
Among many other projects, Rinpoche has built schools for refugee
children, built dormitories and upgraded living conditions for
the Sangha community, upgraded monasteries and hospitals, set
up relief funds for Sangha members and provided assistance to
the poor and the under-privileged. This is an impressive list
of accomplishments, but it is only the beginning.
Today, Rinpoche is the Founder and Spiritual Advisor of the
Kechara Group of entities – Kechara House Buddhist Association,
Kechara Paradise Dharma Shop, Kechara Mystical Treasures Dharma
Shop, Dzambala Mystical Treasures Dharma Shop, Yogini Mystical Treasures Dharma Shop and Kechara Media
and Publications.
