Considered second only to His Holiness Dalai Lama in the spiritual hierarchy of Tibetan Buddhism, His Holiness the Sakya Trizin is the revered 41st Patriarch of the unbroken lineage of Khon and the head of the Sakya tradition, one of the four main traditions of Tibetan Buddhism dating back to 1073. ‘Sakya Trizin’ means ‘Throne Holder of the Sakya’. The Sakya teachings are held to be especially strong and powerful because the family holds the Emanation of Manjushri within itself. At the core of these teachings, along with the Lam Dre, is the lineage of the 13 Golden Dharmas. Born in 1945 in Tibet, His Holiness was formally enthroned at the age of 14. His Holiness moved to India in year 1959, establishing the Sakya Guru monastery in Darjeeling. Since year 1959, His Holiness has worked tirelessly, teaching extensively and establishing over thirty monasteries in India and Nepal. He has also overseen the founding of Sakya centers all around the world.

Ven. Charok Lama Rinpoche is the reincarnation of Charok Lama, a contemporary of the Lawudo Lama Künzang Yeshe from Solu Khumbu district of Nepal. The Lawudo Lama Künzang Yeshe was the previous incarnation of Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Since Charok Lama was discovered by Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche and recognized by Thulshik Rinpoche at the age of two years, he lived at Kopan Monastery in Katmandu until the age of 8 when he joined Sera Je Monastic University in Southern India, where he is a candidate for the Geshe degree. Ven. Charok Lama speaks fluent English as well as Tibetan, Nepali and Sherpa. Rinpoche can also converse in the Hindi language. The team of Vairocana had an audience with him in the Kopan monastery where he shared his feeling and words of wisdom in a gentle and very engaging manner. Rinpoche gave insightful answers to a variety of questions that demonstrated a level of maturity that revealed fleeting glimpses into his holy mind.
“Lobsang Palmo Nawang Rinjen Gyatso Rinpoche” an official member of the Sera monastic community was recognized at the age of two by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and conferred the honorific title “Rinpoche”, which in Tibetan means “precious”, normally reserved for recognized, reincarnate Buddhist Masters. Charok Lama Rinpoche’s previous incarnation was a friend of the Lawudo Lama, Künzang Yeshe who was Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s previous incarnation, and they both lived in the same area in Solu Khumbu region of the Himalayas.

When he was two years old, he was taken from his Himalayan mountain in the Solu Khumbu region to live as an ordained monk to Kopan Monastery in Kathmandu. By the time he reached the age of nine, he had already presided over three formal enthronment ceremonies, namely Latchi, Sera je and Tsawa Kamsten. Since then, Charok Lama was admitted to Sera Je Monastic University in Southern India. There he follows a strict regimen of intensive study, memorizing scriptures & classical Buddhists texts, receiving oral transmissions, debating & attending daily pujas.

Tibetan Buddhism is also called Lamaism, after the monks or lamas. This indicates the important place of the monastic world in the religious concept. Today, there are four major orders in Tibetan Buddhism: Nyingmapa, Kagyupa, Sakyapa and Gelugpa, each with a number of sub-sects:

A Tibetan spiritual leader's guide to dealing with everyday human problems and achieving happiness. It addresses issues such as: the sources of happiness: desire and greed; marriage and romance; resolving conflict; facing our suffering; overcoming anxiety: anger and hatred: and finding balance.

'What is it I hope for from this book? To inspire a quiet revolution in the whole way we look at death and care for the dying and the whole way we look at life, and care for the living'. Written by Buddhist meditation master and popular international speaker Soygal Rinpoche, this highly acclaimed book clarifies the majestic vision of life and death that underlies the Tibetan tradition. It includes not only a lucid, inspiring and complete introduction to the practice of meditation but also advice on how to care for the dying with love and compassion, and how to bring them help of a spiritual kind. But there is much more besides in this classic work, which was written to inspire all who read it to begin the journey to enlightenment and so become 'servants of peace' working in the world.
