Lama Norhla Rinpoche, an accomplished meditation and retreat master, is the abbot of Kagyu Thubten Chöling Monastery and director of Kyabje Dorje Chang Kalu Rinpoche’s Dharma centers in the eastern United States.
Born in 1938, in eastern Tibet he entered Korche Monastery at the age of five, receiving monastic ordination at fourteen. By the age of twenty-one, Lama Norlha had completed two three-year retreats. After the communist takeover of Tibet, he escaped on foot to India where he met Kyabje Dorje Chang Kalu Rinpoche. Following the sacred example of his own masters, Lama Norlha has dedicated his life to teaching the practices that provide students with the means of studying and practicing at a more profound level of commitment.
