The Retreat Master

 


Drupon Champa Ringzin Rinpoche

Our Retreat Master is Drupon Champa Rigzin Rinpoche. He was born in Ladakh, a remote kingdom in the mountain region of Karakoram, close to the source of the Indus.

He entered Lama Yuru Monastery at the age of 12, he began a 3 year retreat under Khunga Rinpoche. His retreat group included H.H Chetsang Rinpoche, Drupon Samten Rinpoche and Khenchen Kunchog Gyaltsen Rinpoche.

He did his Ngodro and Five-Fold Path of the Mahammudra with Khunga Rinpoche during which time Khunga Rinpoche passed on. Lama Champa continued his three year retreat, a study of the Six Yogas of Naropa, under Lama Sonam Jorpel Rinpoche, who is also Lama Champa's uncle!

At the Snake Year Teachings Lama Champa was appointed Drupon (Retreat Master) and has guided many disciples through their three year retreat. He spends some of his time travelling to Europe and Chile where he also has many Western Disciples.

Lama Champa speaks English very well, and has a wonderful sense of humor. He is very precise and clear in his teachings. Also humble and down to earth, we all feel very privileged to be under his guidance.
