In this episode of Dharma Chats, we are deeply honored to sit down with His Eminence Khangser Rinpoche following his historic appointment by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the Abbot of Gyuto Tantric Monastery—one of the most prestigious institutions for advanced Vajrayana study and practice in the world.
We explore what sets a tantric college apart from standard monastic universities, the profound spiritual and administrative responsibilities of a Tantric Abbot.
We also dive deep into the extraordinary spiritual arc of Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), the founder of the Gelug school. Beyond his reputation as a towering philosopher and reformer, we discuss his intense years of solitary retreat, his direct visions of deities, and how he perfectly wedded strict monastic Vinaya with the highest yoga tantra.
