His Eminence the 7th Kyabje Yongzin Ling Rinpoche was born in India 
on November 18, 1985. He was taken to the Tibetan Children’s Village 
in Dharamsala, after his mother died, and stayed there until His Holiness 
the Dalai Lama recognized him as the reincarnation of his Senior Tutor, 
the 6th Kyabje Yongzin Ling Rinpoche, who passed away in 1983.

The 7th Yongzin Ling Rinpoche began his studies at Drepung Monastic University 
in South India when he was ten years old and continues to be engaged 
in rigorous religious study there. In 1991 he gave his first teachings in 
South Korea and since then has given teachings and tantric initiations 
in India, Nepal, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, France, Holland and 
the United States.

Starting in 2004 Rinpoche has participated in the Mind and Life Institute dialogues that have taken place in India between His Holiness the Dalai Lama and scientists on a variety of topics, including physics, neuroplasticity and destructive emotions. Ling Rinpoche has also participated in international events dedicated to preserving Buddhist traditions – Conclave of the International Buddhist Confederation, Global Buddhist Congregation, International Conference on Vinaya and the World Peace Puja in Bodhgaya.  Please visit http://lingrinpoche.info/
