Shenphen Rinpoche - Tradition

Tradition

Traditionally trained and having received transmissions from various masters of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition in Dharamsala and Sera-Jhe Monastery (India), but also in Kharnang Monastery (Tibet), Lama Shenphen Rinpoche has made efforts to teach a Buddhism cleared from cultural, political, and educational impregnations from Tibet.

Rinpoche encourages a form of Buddhism more engaged with society, proposing more services to the general public (visits to hospitals, education in school), applying Dharma in everyday life. To that end, Rinpoche has made efforts to adapt — without deteriorating — the Tibetan Buddhism lineage toward the West. This adaptation also includes clothing: Rinpoche has created a more western type of Buddhist uniform.
