Khenpo Paljor Gyatso

Khenpo was born in Amdo, Tibet, and recognized as the rebirth of a lama from a nearby monastery. He began monastic life at nine and entered Larung Tarig College of Lharung Gar Monastery in Tibet at sixteen. He was a disciple of Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok and Khenchen Tsultrim Lodro among other Masters, and at a remarkably young age, distinguished himself by receiving the title of Khenpo. Khenchen Tsultrim Lodro, the head of Larung Gar Monastery, has asked Khenpo Paljor Gyatso to provide traditional Buddhist teachings to willing and qualified students in North America. Khenpo Paljor’s enthusiasm for dharma, his skill, humility and direct, accessible manner are a source of wisdom, warmth, and delight.
