Kyosang Rinpoche was a spiritual teacher (lama) of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in Tibet nine years before the Chinese invasion of 1959, he was ordained as a monk at an early age. In the same year he flew with other monks to South India and grew up in a monastery in exile, where he worked as an assistant teacher. In 1988 Rinpoche went to London to spread the Teaching of Buddha in Europe. Having experienced many difficulties, he finally founded in 2001 Je Tsongkhapa Ling Buddhist College in Alsace, France and remained its director until his death. In September 2012 he went to his silent retreat. In 2013 Rinpoche published a book of his sermons under the title Snow Lion Faces Europe (it is the very same book you have just finished reading). Rinpoche died in Saarbrücken, Germany, on July 31, 2014.
