We are happy amd excited to announce that the venerable Zachoeje Rinpoche, Emaho’s Spiritual Director is coming to our Centre to teach and give audiences!
A few years before his passing Geshe La instructed us to look out for one of his reincarnated teachers and founder of his original monastery in Kham. This being is the venerable Choejor Dhondup, recognised by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the sixth reincarnation of the great ZaChoeje Rinpoche.
Rinpoche will arrive in New Zealand, at Auckland Airport on the 10th of August at 5 a.m.
There is a preliminary schedule of events and teachings in the days between the 11th of August and the 28th of August, when Rinpoche will return to America. Please consult the events calendar on your left for Rinpoche’s current schedule and updates.
His predecessor, the fifth ZaChoeje Rinpoche, had died in a Chinese prison after the Communist takeover of Tibet. Like him, Rinpoche furthered his studies at Drepung Loseling Monastery and received the Geshe Lharampa degree, equal to a doctorate in Tibetan Buddhism.
After leading the “Mystical Arts of Tibet” cultural tour in America in 1998, he traveled to Phoenix with a group of monks, where he found himself personally drawn to the desert. He decided to settle there and began teaching. On September 10, 2001, he, together with Dharma friends and students, founded Emaho Foundation.
Lots of light
Peter
