Gyumé Khensur Lobsang Jampa

Gyumé Khensur Lobsang Jampa was born in Lhasa, Tibet, in 1937. He entered the Mey College of Sera Monastery at the age of ten. Khensur Rinpoche studied in Tibet until 1959 when he fled to India after the Chinese occupation of Tibet. After completing the final Geshe exam, he was awarded the title of Geshe Lharampa, and later, after entering Gyumé Tantric College, he was awarded the degree of Ngag-rampa (the highest Tantric degree in the Gelukpa tradition). The Dalai Lama appointed him as the abbot of Gyumé, a position which he filled for a term of three years. He currently teaches throughout the US, Canada, and Asia.
