Gelek Rimpoche (1939-2017) is considered to be one of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist masters and scholars of the 20th and 21st Centuries who came to the West and taught in English. In the late 1970’s Rimpoche was directed to teach Western students by his teachers, the Senior and Junior Masters to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. From that time until his death, he taught Buddhist practitioners around the world. In the 1980’s, Rimpoche moved to the United States and in 1988 Rimpoche founded Jewel Heart Corp. (“Jewel Heart”) in Michigan, having already established Jewel Heart centers in Europe and Asia.
When Rimpoche died, he left collected works which arguably are the largest, or one of the largest collections of authentic Tibetan Buddhist teachings in English of a Tibetan master.
You are invited to join the Jewel Heart community in commemorating the life and works of Gelek Rimpoche on the anniversary of his passing with the recitation of the Lama Chöpa practice and celebratory tsoh.
