Venerable Lobsang Namgyel, has been based in India and Nepal, studying and teaching Buddhism there for more than 25 years, with such Masters as H.H. the Dalai Lama, Denma Locho Rinpoche, Choden Rinpoche, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Choeding Rinpoche, Gen Lamrimpa and Geshe Sonam Rinchen. He has completed four years of Lam Rim retreats, as well as tantric retreats. During his time in Buddhism, Venerable has taught in various FPMT Centres in India, Nepal, Mexico, Australasia, Russia, Finland, Europe and the USA and had the honour of being tutor to Lama Osel Rinpoche.

Venerable says: “My inspiration for practicing the Dharma primarily came from meeting Lama Zopa Rinpoche and seeing how tirelessly he teaches, gives advice, and generally works in every way possible to benefit sentient beings. If you get a chance to experience one of Rinpoche’s teachings, do not hesitate, they are totally amazing and you will never be the same again.”

“My motivation for offering this website, is to freely offer the teachings of my teachers and also my own teachings that have been given in various centres around the world. These will be in the form of written and downloadable audio/video teachings. I dedicate the merit that every person who sees even just one word on this site will be liberated from all their sufferings, whatever they may be, and may they only experience temporal and ultimate happiness right now!"

Here’s what Ani Rita had to say after teaching with him at Root Institute,  “Wherever he goes and teaches, he is always asked to come back. Because he is in contact with his own good heart, he is able to touch people on a level that goes much deeper than just intellectual understanding. Having done a lot of individual retreats he has familiarized and integrated the topics in his way of living, and so teaches out of experience. Through his humour he relaxes people totally, and even difficult topics seem a piece of cake. He is especially loved for the deep concern that he has, and shows, for the well being of the participants of the course, and puts a lot of energy and time into helping them to find a way to practice which suits them.”
