About Dakshong Tulku |
|
|
Venerable Dakshong Tulku is an incarnate lama of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in Western Tibet, he fled to India in 1959 due to the violent invasion by China. As a refugee himself, Venerable Dakshong Tulku spent twelve years in India helping other homeless Tibetans, with the GAPA Society of KAMRAO, and studying and teaching at the Sanskrit University of Benares. It was in India that he met and married Pegee and started a family. Immigration to Canada became possible in 1972, and the family settled in Winnipeg. He adapted to this new culture with characteristic tolerance and patience, working for several years as a skilled trades-person. Then, in 1984, he met several persistent, aspiring students of the Dharma who later persuaded him to become the spiritual director of the Canadian Tibetan Buddhist Society. |
