Gyrume Jamtso Rinpoche’s skills are vast and he is also a very wise and compassionate teacher. He is accomplished in Tibetan yoga techniques, performs Phowa rituals, gives Phowa empowerments, and has also teaches Tibetan Tantric Yoga.
He now spends his time teaching to eager students and to Monks at monasteries throughout the world. His travels have brought him to teach at various locations including to students in China, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong where he has established several Buddhist Centers. He also oversees a Monastery in Bhutan and is currently building a Monastery in Nepal.
Gyurme Rinpoche is a Tulku (a reincarnated Master) and has been recognized as the reincarnation of Adzom Namtul Rinpoche by the second Adzom Drukpa Rinpoche, Jamyang Choukyi Nyima Rinpoche, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Adzom Namtul Rinpoche was a great master in his time and when he passed away it is said he achieved the rainbow body by those who saw the signs of his bodily remains shrinking to a very small size after his death. Adzom Namtul Rinpoche was recognized during his lifetime as the reincarnation of Ripa Namkha Dorje.
Gyurmé Gyatso Teaching |
Ripa Namkha Dorje was a student of Rainbow Padma Dundul, was a cousin to the first Adzom Drukpa Rinpoche, and hailed from Adzom Monastery. He in turn was recognized as the reincarnation of Ripa Damtsig Dorje.
Ripa Damtsig Dorje was a student of Do Drupchen Rinpoche who was the teacher of four heart sons that all bear the last name Dorje. Ripa Damtsig Dorje is one of those heart sons.
Thus, the reincarnations are listed as follows: First is Ripa Damtsig Dorje, second is Ripa Namkha Dorje, third is Adzom Namtul Rinpoche, and fourth is Gyurme Jamtso Rinpoche. This Tulku is a rare gem for any student fortunate enough to study with him for any period of time. And his ability to spread the dharma to vast areas of the world has and will continue to benefit many sentient beings.
