RINGU TULKU RINPOCHE
The group is under the guidance of Tibetan lama Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, who lives in Sikkim and visits the UK each summer. Ringu Tulku’s extensive traditional training has included studying with lamas of all the Tibetan traditions and his main teachers have been HH 16th Karmapa and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. Ringu Tulku Rinpoche is also a teacher of His Holiness 17th Karmapa and principal translator for him at the annual Kagyu Monlam festival of Tibetan Buddhist teachings.
He has travelled to more than 50 Universities, Institutes and Buddhist Centres in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and Asia to teach Buddhism and meditation. He also participates in various interfaith dialogues.
Rinpoche speaks good English and has a good sense of humour. His relaxed yet profound teaching style makes his teachings very accessible whether you are a beginner or a more experienced practitioner. He authored several books on Buddhism as well as some children’s books both in Tibetan and European languages + Find out more about the books

Books From Bodhicharya Publications
Bodhicharya Publications was set up in order to publish Ringu Tulku’s teachings in written format. They publish two series at present: the Lazy Lama series and the Heart Wisdom series.
The Lazy Lama books are A6 pocket-sized books. They aim to be widely accessible and light-hearted, while imparting a clear description of key Buddhist topics.
The Heart Wisdom series are slightly larger, A5 format, and go into Ringu Tulku’s teachings in a little more depth. The teachings they include are pithy and simply-stated but at the same time profound, taking us right to the heart of Buddhist teaching.

The Ri-Me Philosophy
Ringu Tulku supports the all-embracing Tibetan
Rimé movement and encourages a broader understanding of Buddhism through teachings from various spiritual traditions. He has writen a book about this philoshophy.
​
Rimé is a non-sectarian or non-partisan movement within Tibetan Buddhism that emphasises the appreciation of differences between various lineages, rather than trying to unite them into one. One great benefit of each lineage needs to stay true to itself, means that we as individual practitioners, are free to move between the different lineages, finding what is useful for us.
