Born in Lhasa, Tibet in 1939, Gelek Rimpoche was recognized as an incarnate lama at the age of four. Among the last generation of lamas educated in Drepung Monastery before the Communist Chinese invasion of Tibet, Gelek Rimpoche was forced to flee to India in 1959. Following the direction of his teachers, the Junior and Senior Tutors of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Rimpoche has been teaching westerners since the late 1970’s and now is teacher to countless friends around the globe. Founding Jewel Heart Tibetan Buddhist Learning Center in 1988, Jewel Heart centers can be found in the U.S., Malaysia, the Netherlands and Singapore. Rimpoche’s Collected Works now include over 40 transcripts of his teachings, numerous articles and the national best seller, Good Life, Good Death and The Tara Box: Rituals for Protection and Healing from the Female Buddha.
