Biographical Information

Lobsang Gyatso was born in Tibet in the area of Kham in 1928. He became monk at the age of 11 and studied at Drepung monastery. During the 1959 Tibetan uprising he fled Tibet as part of the Tibetan Exile Community in India. He founded in 1973 the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala and in 1991 the College for Higher Tibetan Studies in Sarah, two non-profit educational institutions. He is the author of several books in Tibetan that were translated in several languages. On February 4, 1997, the principal of the Buddhist School of Dialectics, Geshe Lobsang Gyatso was murdered in Dharamsala, along with two of his students. David Kay notes "The subsequent investigation by the Indian police linked the murders to the Dorje Shugden faction of the exiled Tibetan community." (Source Accessed Apr 19, 2021)
