Ahbay Rinpoche (Lama Ahbay Tulku Jigme Thupten Tendar Rinpoche) is a teacher who has been recognized by the Dalai Lama as a reincarnation of Lama Lobsang Tenzin, and has taught widely in Europe and the United States. Lama Ahbay Rinpoche: Lama Ahbay Tulku Jigme Thupten
Tendar Rinpoche was born in Darjeeling/India in
1973. In the Tibetan calendar the day of his birth is known as "The Auspicious Day with Ten Good Omens." His father, Sonam Dorjee, and his mother, Lobsang
Tseten, have two more children, his elder brother, Dondhup Paljor, and his younger
sister, Tsering Tsomo.
The former reincarnation of Lama Ahbay Tulku Jigme Thupten Tendar Rinpoche was the hermit Lama Lobsang Tenzin. He was born in the village known as Lunghna Shelkar in the family Lhundup Khangsar that is known to have brought forth many saints. He had two brothers, one was a monk and the other one a layman. His parents passed away early, and so Rinpoche lived in a sheltered cave, near his village, with one white donkey and one cow. He lived in this cave for a long time and it was his well known home. He pursued religious studies and by the time he attained 30 years once again he went to stay in that cave, to continue his practice and studies. In the near village, he became well known and famous for his supernatural powers. By that time animals of the near forest like deers and monkeys would come to him and people from all walks of life continuously received his blessings. Observing the pathetic situation of his life in a cave, the villagers constructed a monastery nearby, to accommodate 25 monks, to bring religion to flourish to its peak.
The situation in Tibet deteriorated day by day, with the Chinese demolishing the previous monasteries and statues, torturing and killing everybody, monks and nuns mercilessly. In spite of all these tragedies happening around him, he managed to live in a small room for many years, preaching secretly and thus attained 80 years. The public honoured and paid full homage and respect to him until his last stages. (from http://naturallyuniversal.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2158306%3ABlogPost%3A58970) |
