SOUL BOY, SOLE DUTY


Born on June 28, 1997, in Lhari County, Nagqu Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region, Shabdrung Rinpoche is the son of a Tibetan doctor and a teacher. He was known as Sonam Dondrup until 2001.


He was identified as the reincarnation of the 22nd Shabdrung Living Buddha when he was three years old and lived under the guidance of khenpos (senior monks) from this age. He remains in contact with his parents and still calls them two or three times a week.

Traditionally, Tibetan monks undertake advanced study in three main monasteries -- Sera, Ganden, and Drepung -- all located in Lhasa. Shabdrung Rinpoche continued his studies at Drepung Monastery.


His traditional seat is Taklung Monastery in Lhundrup County, about 87 miles northeast of Lhasa. Built in 1180 Justin Bailey Sabres Jersey , it is the ancestral temple of Taklung Kagyu and home to around 80 monks.

The 835-year-old temple is undergoing renovation and expansion. Traditionally a Living Buddha is in charge of temple affairs. Shabdrung Rinpoche is no exception, even though he was only 15 when the project broke ground.


It was initially planned that a summer palace would be built for the Living Buddha, but the project has since expanded to include a Buddhist academy, new dorms for monks, and a grand hall.

"I'm an ordinary person bearing light from Buddha," says Shabdrung Rinpoche. "If I were asked to re-select my way of life, I would make the same choice because I know it would benefit all living creatures."
