Path of Wisdom: Youssef Thome

Far from the esoteric jargon sometimes associated with Tibetan Buddhism, here is a practical approach to living with clarity which enables an individual to develop understanding and insight about the self and others. The key lies in the study and understanding of the essential points taught by the Buddha and the importance of thoroughly integrating those meanings in our daily lives and practice.

Born in Tibet in 1949, Lama Jigme Rinpoche grew up and received his education with the principal teachers of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. The Sixteenth Karmapa named Lama Jigme Rinpoche as his official representative and the spiritual director of Dhagpo Kagyu Ling in France. Ever since, Lama Jigme Rinpoche has filled this role. Strengthened by many years of experience in the West, his unique and modern approach renders the Buddha’ s millennia-old wisdom accessible and allows students to apply it concretely in daily twenty-first- century life.
