Shang Longrik Gyatso Rinpoche
Shang Longrik Gyatso Rinpoche's spiritual pursuit began at a very young age and has spanned many decades, in which he received the complete lineages of all four major Vajrayana
schools—Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya, and Gelug—from numerous lineage holders and great yogis of our time in India, Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan. Rinpoche has acquired all the necessary empowerments,
transmissions, and teachings to become a fully-qualified Vajrayana master. Furthermore, he is a recognized tulku (reincarnate lama), authenticated by eminent lineage holders and distinguished
masters of our time.
Rinpoche is direct heir to the lineage of Shang Rinpoche (one of the "Three Jewels of Tibet") and has received the complete empowerments, transmissions and teachings pertaining thereto from
his root master, the reincarnation of the great terton Tachin Dorje Lingpa. Apart from the supreme Vajrayana lineages, Rinpoche is holder of the direct lineages of the Linji and Caodong
branches of the Chan school, and of the great Chan Master Xuyun. Furthermore, he is heir to the teachings of the Taoist Southern Sect (Nanzong).
Embodying, upholding and protecting such venerable and precious traditions, Rinpoche has devoted his life to spreading Buddhist teachings in order to benefit all sentient beings. For over
three decades, he has been tirelessly and unceasingly guiding thousands of students and practitioners from over 25 countries. Wherever he goes, the powerful blessings of his lineages
follow.
Whilst upholding authentic Dharma, Shang Rinpoche skillfully acknowledges the inherent challenges of the era we live in, using the context of modern life to impart precious teachings to his
students.
