Khen Rinpoche Topgyal
Lama,
A Lharampa Geshe, which is the highest academic qualification possible to attain within the system, he now has the opportunity to pass on the teachings and put into practice, as is the Gyuto way, the core values of kindness and compassion. Born in the Tsang area of Central Tibet known as Gyantse, he escaped with his parents and siblings in 1959 and lived in Tibetan refugee camps in first, Sikkhim then at Bylakuppe, for years before joining the monastery at 13 years of age.
