Other Biographical Information
Lama Lodö was born in Sikkim, Nepal in 1939. At the age of eight he entered monastery to study the traditional subjects of the Karma Kagyu tradition: reading, writing, religious texts, singing and dancing. At fifteen he met Drupon Tenzin Rinpoche, who was the great meditation master of the The-Yak Monastery and a teacher of His Holiness the sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa. With his teacher's blessing, Lama Lodö eventually began traditional three-year retreat. Unfortunately, both student and teacher became ill during this time; Tenzin Rinpoche directly contributed to Lama Lodö's recover, but he died himself.
H.H Karmapa directed Lama Lodö to seek a new teacher in the Very Venerable Kalu Rinpoche, whom he called the Great Master of this age. Lama Lodö was able to pass his examination and began a new retreat under venerable Kalu Rinpoche. Lama Lodö spent years since then giving instruction in meditation, dharma and Puja. In 1974, H. H. Karmapa and Kalu Rinpoche sent Lama to the West. From 1976, he became a Senior Spiritual Teacher at the Kagyu Droden Kunchab Center in San Francisco. Source
