Do Tulku Rinpoche is the resident lama and spiritual guide of Arya Tara’s Net, an online community and center for Buddhist studies and practice in Windeck, Germany.
Do Tulku Rinpoche was recognized by His Holiness Sakya Trichen at the age of 17 as the reincarnation of the fifth Raktrul Rinpoche. His incarnation line goes back to the first Raktrul Rinpoche (17th century), a master of the Do Teng Monastery in eastern Tibet. After his recognition, he received an 11-year training in Buddhist philosophy, practice, and debate at the Dzongsar Khyentse Chokyi Lodro Institute in India, from which he graduated with the title of an Acharya (Lopön).
Since then, Rinpoche has been teaching and guiding retreats in India, Nepal, Europe, and South America. He has received teachings, transmissions, and initiations from some of the greatest masters of our time, including His Holiness, Dalai Lama, His Holiness, Sakya Trizin, Khenchen Kunga Wangchuk, Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, Dagchen Rinpoche, Luding Khenchen Rinpoche, and many more. He lives in Germany where he teaches regularly.
