H.E. Arjia Rinpoche
H.E. Arjia Lousang Tubataen Juimai Gyatso RInpoche, the former senior abbot of Kumbum Monastery in Khukhnuur (Amdo), Tibet, came to the U.S. in 1998. The Kumbum Monastery is one of the six largest monasteries of the Gelugpa and the birth place of Je Tsongkhapa. It is well known for its four Buddhist colleges of Sutra (exoteric), Tantra, Tibetan Medicine, and Kalachakra (Cosmology). H. E. Arjia Rinpoche has been recognized as the reincarnation of Lumbum Gye, father of Je Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Geluk sect.
In 2001 H. E. Arjia Rinpoche founded the Tibetan Center for Compassion and Wisdom in Mill Valley, California, north of San Francisco. In 2002 a branch was opened in Oakland, oriented toward Tibetan, Mongolian, and Chinese students, while the Mill Valley center continued to primarily serve Westerners. His Eminence teaches in Tibetan, Chinese, Mongolian, and English. In 2005 His Eminence was appointed president and director of the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center (TMBCC) in Bloomington, Indiana where he now lives. Kumbum Chamtse Ling Monastery and Temple are located on the grounds of the TMBCC. H.E. Arjia Rinpoche is creating a "Kumbum West"--a learning institution dedicated to the teaching of Language, Philosophy, Medicine/ Astrological Sciences, and Meditation with a focus on interfaith dialogue. When the temple was consecrated in 2003, the ceremony involved members of 12 faiths: Catholic, Islam, Episcopalian, Methodist, Society of Friends, Baha'i, Jewish, Hindu, Shinto, Sikh, Unitarian, and Native American, as well as Buddhist. Each of these groups are represented at the multi-faith altar at Kumbum Chamtse Ling as shown here.
