About Me
Who is Lama Jigme Gyatso?
Ordained as Lama Jigme Gyatso: Rime Manipa Tantrika,
which translates as “Ocean of Courage Teacher;”
he is a Jewish-american born, Tibetan-buddhist:
Monk, Teacher, Healer and Tantrika.
Lama Jigme was taught to be devoted
to the Buddha of Compassion {Manipa}
in a NON-sectarian manner {Rime}
that practices Sutra’s union of compassion and insight
as well as the union of Tantra’s paths
of devotion, imagination and sensuality {Tantrika}.
In an age when many are content to hide behind
tradition, hearsay, dogma and circular reasoning
this controversial and unconventional teacher insists
that a true Lama’s
resume, credentials and letters of recommendation
are the vastness of his Compassion,
the profundity of his Insight
and the power of his Effectiveness.
Lama Jigme Gyatso has had the very good fortune
to receive teachings
from every major Buddhist lineage
of the Theravada, Mahayana and Tantric traditions.
Taking his Lama’s instructions to heart,
he practices and transmits the Buddha’s teachings
in an essentialized manner
that is as profoundly effective as it is deeply practical.
Lama Jigme is playful and dynamic
as well as loving and insightful.
Just as the alchemists of legend turned lead into gold,
instructions received from this precious teacher can transform
sorrow, anger, and fear
into peace, love, joy and bliss.
