His Eminence Gyalwa Dokhampa to visit in January

Gyalwa Dokhampa, more popularly known as ‘Khamtrul Rinpoche’, was born in 1981, into the family of His Holiness, the present Gyalwang Drukpa and spiritual head of the Drukpa Lineage. He was recognised by both His Holiness the Dalai Lama and His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa as the ninth incarnation of the Gyalwa Dokhampa.

He went on to study at Druk Thupten Sangag Choeling Monastery in Darjeeling in India, where he spent his childhood and teenage years under the guidance of his principal teacher, His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa. Later he completed a nine-year course to attain his Master’s degree in Buddhist Philosophy from Tango Monastic University in the Royal Kingdom of Bhutan.
 
The Gyalwa Dokhampa emphasises that Buddhism is not a religion, but rather a way to find happiness. He also works to make Buddhist ideals relevant to a modern lifestyle, so that they may be integrated into everyday life, less through self-help than through selflessness and generosity to others - as we give to others, we give to ourselves. He is also the author of the book ‘The Restful Mind’ - a New Way of Thinking, a New Way of Life.
