Rahob Rinpoche presents several Special Retreats based on the healing, protection and developing the many layers and stages of meditation. His teachings represent a very special form of blessing designed to promote the development of inner peace and harmony in oneself and among mankind as a whole. His unique knowledge of Tibetan, Thai, Japanese, South-East Asian and American Buddhism stands out in front as a leader in the practice and teaching of Buddhism today.

“The Venerable Rahob Rinpoche is one of the few senior disciples of the Dalai Lama living and teaching in America today. He has all the excellent qualities of a learned and accomplished Buddhist teacher, meditation master, translator and scholar; he also speaks English. I recommend him to anyone interested in Buddhist thought and practice.           …Lama Surya Das, Author of “Awakening the Buddha Within”.

Rahob Rinpoche shares his knowledge from 20 years of training as head Lama of the 600-year-old Rahob Monastery in Eastern Tibet, 7 years of graduate studies at Drepung University in Lhasa, 5 years at Sanskrit University, 7 years Theravadan ordination and meditation training with renowned meditation masters in Thailand, Burma and Viet Nam, and 7 years teaching, translating and practicing with Zen, Shingon and Shinto religious sects in Japan before coming to America in 1979. With an invitation from Robert Thurman, Rahob Rinpoche as an adjunct professor taught important studies in Comparative Buddhism, Comparative Religions and Comparative Meditation Practices at the University of Massachusetts, Harvard University and Tufts University before establishing his Rahob Development Project and the Rahob Dharma Center in 1998.
