Guru Lama Pema Dorje
 

Guru Pema Lama was born on the 15th of April, in 1970, in Bhimkhuri-8, Kavre district. He was born in a lucky era where the Seeker can meet the Buddha-Dharma, where is allowed to learn and practice, and high level teachers, lamas and gurus are present. He was born into a lovely family where the teachings were already present, and no one asked him to stop to be what he wanted to be. Some of his relatives were already monks.

Guru attended in a village school education in his childhood, and after that he chose to immerse himself into the timeless teachings. During his years he completed the traditional meditation period. When he finished his studies he chose to go for modern education, then later he came to Kathmandu where he met many spiritually highly developed rinpoches and gurus. There he met with Venerable Penor Rinpoche from whom he received many teachings.

During his study years he earned money by his love to paint thangkas and helped trekkers on their way.

In 2001 he has been appointed as a main lama in Kotang, in the Sange Losang Tamang monastery. During this time he had the opportunity to attend on H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama’s Kalachakra puja which lasted for 11 days. After this he felt, many things changed in his life.

In 2003 he became a member of the Education Ministry for Buddhist studies. By this, and by meeting a lot of rinpoches and teachers he got inspired more and more to start a school. He gathered ideas, contemplated on the future and finally made the decision to open one in 2004.
