Lama Tanba Gyatso in New Mexico ~ Preview
Teachings and Meditations in Early June ~ Locations & Dates TBA
Santa Fe & Jemez Springs NM
Dates and Locations TBA
Lama Tanba Gyatso was born on March 7, 1975. He is a monk from Matho Monastery in Leh, Ladakh. At age ten, he joined Ngor Pal Ewam Chodan Monastery in Dehradun, India. There he studied Tibetan language, literature and grammar; and trained in religious rituals, mandala and torma creation, and traditional spiritual musical instruments through 1995. He received his novice vows from H.E. Ngor Luding Khenchen Rinpoche. Under the guidance of H.H. Sakya Gongma Trichen Rinpoche and H.E. Ngor Luding Khenchen Rinpoche, he received the sacred empowerments and teachings of the Sakya lineage, as well as instructions from other Buddhist masters.
In 1996, Lama Tanba Gyatso attended Sakya College in Dehradun for eleven years, where he obtained a B.A. in Buddhist philosophy. He then completed the Teacher Training Program with First Division at the College for Higher Tibetan Studies in Dharmsala from 2007 to 2010. Then, in 2012, he undertook religious retreats on Ngondro, Mahavairochana and Vajrayogini.
He also returned to Matho Monastery in 2012, teaching and performing religious duties for the community. He currently serves as a manager of The Great Sakya Monlam Foundation in Dehradun, overseeing daily operations, maintenance, and program facilitation. He played a critical role in managing the annual international Great Sakya Monlam prayer event in Bodhgaya. Lama Tanba Gyatso is a member of Sakya World Peace India Chapter, and a greatly experienced Buddhist teacher.
He is currently visiting the United States for the first time as a delegate to the Sakya Monlam of North America. Tsechen Namdrol Ling is honored to host Lama Tanba Gyatso as an guest teacher to the “Summer of Peace Program” in Santa Fe and Jemez Springs, New Mexico. More information soon to follow…

To Whom It May Concern
Request for Audio Recordings of the
Third Deshung Rinpoche’s Teachings
Deshung Rinpoche IV is seeking to obtain copies of all original audio recordings of the teachings of Deshung Rinpoche Kunga Tenpai Nyima (Deshung Rinpoche III – his predecessor).
The full body of recordings include the Triple Vision teachings given in NYC, and other locations, from the 1970s onwards in all audio formats, analog or digital. These recordings will support Deshung Rinpoche IV’s continuing research and writings, provide access to these Dharma teachings for practitioners, and their preservation for future generations. You will be provided with legal instruments for transfer to Rinpoche at Tharlam Monastery (if needed to help in your planning) to ensure proper documentation, itemization, and mailing information.
For assistance, contact April Dolkar at santa.fe_sakya@yahoo.com.
Thank you for considering this request.
