Chamtrul Rinpoche will give a Dharma talk exploring the union of bodhicitta - the altruistic mind of enlightenment, and emptiness - the insight that nothing exists independently.


About the Speaker: Chamtrul Rinpoche Lobsang Gyatso is a world-renowned Tibetan Buddhist master of the Nyingma tradition and the recognised reincarnation of the Second Chamtrul Rinpoche from Mardo Tashi Chöling Monastery in Tibet.

He entered monastic life at a young age and undertook extensive training in Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and Vajrayana practices, including Dzogchen. Rinpoche completed his advanced studies at renowned centres such as Kathok and Larung Gar, where he was awarded the title of Khenpo, equivalent to a Doctorate in Buddhist Philosophy.


For more than three decades, Chamtrul Rinpoche has taught students around the world, sharing authentic Tibetan Buddhist wisdom with warmth, humility, and deep experiential understanding. He is the spiritual director of the Bodhicitta Dharma Centre in Dharamshala, India, and continues to guide thousands of practitioners internationally.
