ABOUT LAMA NAMDROL RINPOCHE:

Born in Singapore in 1974 to a Chinese Taoist family, Lama Namdrol Rinpoche is a "tulku," the reincarnation of a Buddhist master from Tibet. Drawn to Buddhism from an early age, Namdrol Rinpoche studied with teachers from the Theravada, Chinese Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhist traditions. For many years he trained, not as a monk, but as a lay Tibetan Buddhist yogi at Kopan Monastery in Nepal, before founding his own temple Thekchen Choling in Singapore in 2001. 

A brilliant teacher, fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, Namdrol Rinpoche is well known for his fresh and exciting teaching style, as well as his practical wisdom and insightful humor.  This visit to Syracuse will be Rinpoche's first time ever giving teachings in the West, and it is with great joy and anticipation that we welcome him.  Rinpoche will be traveling with his wife and young daughter, and several of his students from his Singapore temple.
