Gyatrul Rinpoche (b. 1925) is a senior lama of the Palyul lineage of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.

嘉楚仁波切是藏傳佛教寧瑪派白玉傳承的資深喇嘛。

Birth and Recognition

Born in the Gyalrong region of eastern Tibet in 1925, Gyatrul Rinpoche was recognized at a young age by Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö and Tulku Natsok Rangdrol as the incarnation of Sampa Künkyap, a Payul lineage meditator who spent his life in retreat and who later gave empowerments and transmissions from his retreat cave to multitudes of disciples.

1925年生於東藏的嘉絨，年少即由蔣揚欽哲確吉旺波和祖古那措讓卓認證為桑巴坤洽的轉世，該位上師為白玉傳承的禪修師，一生都在閉關，給予灌頂和口傳時也是在閉關處舉行，弟子數眾。

Training

After being brought to Palyul Domang Monastery, home of his previous incarnation, the young Gyatrul was educated by his tutor, Sangye Gon. During his extensive spiritual training, he received personal instruction on many Buddhist treatises by numerous renowned masters of the Nyingma tradition, including Tulku Natsok Rangdrol, Payul Chogtrul Rinpoche, Apkong Khenpo, Dzongter Kunzang Nyima, and His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche. In Tibet he received the oral transmission and instructions on the Shyitro Gongpa Rangdrol from the eminent Lama Norbu Tenzin.

年輕的嘉楚仁波切被帶到過去生的祖寺白玉多芒寺，之後即由親教師桑傑貢所教導，歷經大量的修持訓練，並領受許多佛教論典的個別指導。他從學於多位寧瑪派的著名大師，包括祖古那措讓卓、白玉秋竹仁波切、阿龐堪布，以及敦珠法王。他於西藏，從卓越的諾布丹增喇嘛處，獲得「中陰文武百尊‧自解脫智慧心甚深法教」的口傳和指導。

Activity

After fleeing from Tibet into exile in India in 1959, Gyatrul Rinpoche continued his spiritual training and served the Tibetan community in India in various ways until 1972, when His Holiness the Dalai Lama sent him to Canada to offer spiritual guidance to Tibetans who had settled there.

1959年從西藏流亡印度之後，繼續其修持的訓練並為印度的藏人社區盡心盡力，直到1972年，達賴喇嘛法王派其前往加拿大，為移居當地的藏人提供精神指導。

Since then, he has taught widely throughout North America, establishing numerous Buddhist centers, which include Tashi Choling in Oregon, Orgyen Dorje Den in the San Francisco Bay area, Norbu Ling in Austin, Texas, Namdroling in Bozeman, Montana, and a center in Ensenada, Mexico. He presently moves back and forth between his principle center, Tashi Choling, and his home in Half Moon Bay, California.

從此之後，仁波切便於北美地區廣傳教法，建立了大量的佛法中心，包括奧瑞岡州的吉祥法林、舊金山海灣區的鄔金多傑登、德州奧斯丁的諾布林、蒙他拿波茲曼的南卓林，以及墨西哥艾森那達的一處中心。目前仍於主要中心吉祥法林和加州半月灣的自家之間來往弘法。
