Lama Lobsang Tenpey Gyaltsen
Lama Lobsang Tenpey Gyaltsen was a Rinpoche, or incarnate lama, who wrote the remarkable poem “A Song of Longing for Tara, the Infallible” in 1852 at the age of eighteen. According to Khetsun Sangpo's biographical dictionary, he was born in Ch'o-ts'a O-rung in 1836, his father's name being Lu-bum and his mother's Lhamo-gyal. He was recognized as the incarnation of Gomgan of Hormo, who came from Mekya Hormo. We can assume that as a Rinpoche he did not have to devote as much of his time as an ordinary novice would to the rigorous intellectual training characteristic of the Gelukpa school, but was encouraged to exercise his talent for meditation. —Excerpt from "In Praise of Tara: Songs to the Saviouress" by Martin Willson (Image by Maria Burki / Pixabay.)
