Biography: Karma Trinlay Rinpoche is a highly accomplished Buddhist teacher born in 1975 to an American mother and a French father. His Holiness the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa recognized the 13-month-old Rinpoche as the reincarnation of an important Buddhist teacher.
Trinlay Rinpoche holds in particular great reverence the late 14th Shamarpa as his principal root teacher from whom he received unparalleled teachings.
A charismatic speaker, Karma Trinlay Rinpoche is respected for his lucid mind and diligence in both study and practice. People widely appreciate his inner calmness, sweet disposition, and sharp mind. He has taught in Buddhist centers and universities throughout the world.
