Lho Ontul Rinpoche is a highly accomplished lama and yogi within the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in Tibet in 1950, he was recognized at a young age as an emanation of Kunzang Drodul, the 1st Lho Ontul Rinpoche, who was the elder brother of the revered 19th–20th century saint Orgyen Nuden Dorje.
His lineage carries deep historical significance, as the first Ontul Rinpoche was identified as an emanation of Drog Ban Khiu Chung Lotsawa, one of the twenty-five principal disciples of Guru Padmasambhava. With this profound heritage, Lho Ontul Rinpoche represents an unbroken tradition of wisdom, devotion, and spiritual practice.
Those who encounter his teachings can expect an authentic glimpse into Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, rooted in a lineage that has been preserved and passed down through generations. His presence reflects both scholarly depth and lived yogic discipline, offering a meaningful connection to a rare and respected spiritual tradition.
