| Ribur Rinpoche was born in Eastern Tibet in 1923. At the age of five he
was recognized by the Thirteenth Dalai Lama as the sixth incarnation of Sera-mae Ribur
Rinpoche. He entered Sera Monastic University in Lhasa at age fourteen, and became a Geshe
at twenty-four. He meditated and taught Dharma until 1959, after which he suffered under
intense Chinese oppression for twenty-one years. In 1980 he was allowed to perform some religious activities, and he helped build a new stupa for Pahbonka Rinpoche at Sera, the Chinese having destroyed the original. He then came to India and has lived at Namgyal Monastery, Dharamsala, as well as taught in Europe, Australia, Asia and United States. |
