Karma Rinpoche

Karma Rinpoche (Tibetan: ཀརྨ་རིན་པོ་ཆེ་; Chinese: 顏班·希熱將參 嘎瑪) is a Nyingma master of Tibetan Buddhism, born in 1968 in Barkam, Ngawa Prefecture, Sichuan, China. He currently serves as the abbot of Changlei Monastery. From an early age, he began studying Buddhist teachings under the guidance of his maternal uncle, and later received extensive training from the great Khenpo Trulzhik Chokyi Drakpa Rinpoche, eventually earning the title of Khenpo. Rinpoche played an important role in the establishment of the first exoteric and esoteric Buddhist institute in the Gyarong region, where he also served as its principal. In 1999, he was formally recognized as the 85th throne holder of the Kathog lineage. Dedicated to spreading the Dharma, he teaches at his monastery as well as throughout the Chinese-speaking world, frequently giving lectures and participating in Dharma activities. His publications include Dialogue with the Mind and Using Your Wealth Wisely, among others.
