In this online course, Tibetan Buddhist master and Tummo expert Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche gives us an introduction to the background and workings of the Tummo practice of inner fire. He also shares with us a precious sequence of practices that we can all use to strengthen our self-healing powers and improve our health.

Throughout the course, we will learn a simple but very effective practice combining breathing exercises, physical movements as well as meditation. This practice will transform us step by step on a physical and mental level and help us to achieve greater health and happiness.

While advanced Tummo is a highly spiritual and secret Buddhist practice for self-realization and is not taught here, basic Tummo is suitable for anyone and everyone and is a very powerful and effective way to support our immune system and find greater well-being.

Tulku Lobsang is a high Buddhist master and teacher who was born in Amdo in northeastern Tibet. At the age of six, Rinpoche entered the local Buddhist monastic school, and when he was eleven, he transferred to Nangzi Monastery, the largest Bon monastery in Tibet. At that time, the monks of Sowa Monastery were searching for the reincarnation of their lama. At the age of 13, Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche was recognized as the 8th reincarnation of the Nyentse Lama.

The young Rinpoche then received formal teachings in various monasteries and deepened his knowledge in the areas of sutras, medicine and astrology. In addition to his general education, Tulku-la was taught privately by a number of highly respected scholars and received tantra teachings as well as empowerments and initiations in all eight practice lineages of Buddhism in Tibet. Rinpoche remains a practitioner of all eight lineages to this day.

In 1993, at the age of 17, Rinpoche left Tibet for southern India to deepen and complete his studies at Gaden Shartse Monastery. After five years, Tulku-la moved on to Dharamsala to pass on Tibetan cultural heritage to both Tibetans and Westerners.

Since 2000, Rinpoche has been traveling throughout Europe, America and Asia to share his profound knowledge and thereby reduce suffering in the world. Tulku-la's teachings are based on the ancient knowledge of Tantrayana, which is the foundation of both Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan medicine.

Tulku Lobsang has an extraordinary connection to the practice of Tummo. It is his true specialty. Tulku-la has received Tummo teachings and transmissions from many different lineages, and his deep understanding of this powerful practice makes him an incredibly experienced, wise and compassionate teacher.
