Portraits of Gendun Rinpoche
Gendün Rinpoche was a senior master of the Kagyü lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. In the seventies, the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa asked him to teach in Europe. Since that time Gendün Rinpoche has been living in France where he contributed to establishing several Buddhist centers. In the last few years he focused his activity on caring for a retreat center in France where more than 100 Europeans have had the possibility to intensify their meditation practice in solitude. Gendün Rinpoche passed away on Oct. 31st, 1997 in France.
In 1994 we had the opportunity to pose questions to Gendün Rinpoche and to make a video about this. We asked him to tell us about his life in Tibet, his escape to India, his meetings with the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, the tasks which the Karmapa entrusted him with and about some of the Karmapa's prophecies. More about that here. |
