Калу Ринпоче Кябдже Калу Ринпоче (1905 - Май 10, 1989) е изтъкнат Будистки лама, учен и майстор на медитацията, един от първите преподаващи на Запад Тибетски учители. Титлата „Ринпоче” към името му означава буквално скъпоценен и е част от името на високореализирани и почитани, най- често съзнателно прераждащи се лами. Съдържание Ранни години и учители[редактиране | edit source] Калу Ринпоче е роден през 1905, или според Тибетския календар годината на женската дървена змия в Окръг Трешо Ганг чи Рава в района Хор в Кхам, източен Тибет. Петнадесетгодишен Калу Ринпоче бива изпратен в Палпунг, един от важните манастири на школата Карма Кагю. Той остава там повече от десет години, усвоявайки огромно количество учения, представляващи философската основа на Будистката практика, а също така завършва два тригодишни ретрийта или медитационни уединения на усилена практика. На възраст около двадесет и пет Ринпоче вече напуска манастира за да последва живота на самотен йоги в горите на източен Тибет. За почти петнадесет години той има задълбочена реализация на всички аспекти на ученията и в резултат започва да се носи славата му на Бодхисатва. Преподавателска работа в Тибет[редактиране | edit source] Калу Ринпоче се завръща в Палпунг за да получи завършващите учения от Друпон Норбу Дондруб, който му поверява рядко срещаната приемственост на Шангпа Кагю. От своя страна Тай Ситу го определя като Ваджра Учител на голямата Гомпа (медитационна зала) на манастира Палпунг, където той много години след това дава поучения и посвещения. През 1940-те години като един от съпровождащите Ситу Ринпоче пътува в централен Тибет и интензивно преподава. Тук сред неговите ученици е и Ретинг Ринпоче, регент на Тибет преди пълнолетието на Далай Лама. При завръщането си в Кхам Калу Ринпоче става глава на свързания с Палпунг медитационен център и учител по медитация на Шестнадесетия Кармапа. Той остава такъв до момента, в който ситуацията в Тибет не го принуждава да се присъедини към Тибетските бежанци в Индия. В изгнание в Индия и работа на Запад[редактиране | edit source] През 60-те години на 20 век при Калу Ринпоче в Индия биват привлечени първите западни ученици. Така например в Сонада при него идват Хана и Оле Нидал. През 70-те вече интензивно работи също и в Европа и двете Америки, основявайки центрове в много страни. Във Франция установява център за традиционно тригодишно медитационно уединение и предава приемственостите на Карма Кагю и Шангпа Кагю на западните си последователи.

Kalu Rinpoche Kalu Rinpoche (1905 – May 10, 1989) was a Buddhist lama, meditation master, scholar and teacher. He was one of the first Tibetan masters to teach in the West. Contents Early life and teachers[edit] Kalu Rinpoche was born in 1905 during the Female Wood Snake year of the Tibetan lunar calendar in the district of Treshö Gang chi Rawa in the Hor region of Kham, Eastern Tibet. When Kalu Rinpoche was fifteen years old, he was sent to begin his higher studies at the monastery of Palpung, the foremost center of the Karma Kagyu school. He remained there for more than a decade, during which time he mastered the vast body of teaching that forms the philosophical basis of Buddhist practice, and completed two three-year retreats. At about the age of twenty-five, Rinpoche left Palpung to pursue the life of a solitary yogi in the woods of the Khampa countryside. For nearly fifteen years, he strove to perfect his realization of all aspects of the teachings and he became renowned in the villages and among the nomads as a representative of the Bodhisattva path. Teaching activity in Tibet[edit] Kalu Rinpoche returned to Palpung to receive final teachings from Drupon Norbu Dondrup, who entrusted him with the rare transmission of the teaching of the Shangpa Kagyu. At the order of Situ Rinpoche, he was appointed Vajra Master of the great meditation hall of Palpung Monastery, where for many years he gave empowerments and teachings. During the 1940s, Kalu Rinpoche visited central Tibet with the party of Situ Rinpoche, and there he taught extensively. His disciples included the Reting Rinpoche, regent of Tibet during the infancy of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. Returning to Kham, Kalu Rinpoche became the abbot of the meditation center associated with Palpung and the meditation teacher of the Sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa. He remained in that position until the situation in Tibet forced him into exile in India. In exile[edit] In the late 1960s Kalu Rinpoche began to attract Western disciples in India. By the 1970s, he was teaching extensively in the Americas and Europe, and during his three visits to the West he founded teaching centers in over a dozen countries. In France, he established the first retreat center to teach the traditional three-year retreats of the Shangpa and Karma Kagyu lineages to Western students. On request of Shoko Asahara, founder of Japan's controversial Buddhist group Aum Shinrikyo, Kalu Rinpoche lectured to his followers in a number of Japanese cities.[1] The group was more mainstream at that time and had casual ties to a number of prominent Tibetan lamas, including the Dalai Lama. Controversy[edit] June Campbell, a former Kagyu nun who is an academic feminist, acted as Kalu Rinpoche's translator for several years. In her book Traveller in Space: Gender, Identity and Tibetan Buddhism[2] she writes that he subjected her to an abusive sexual relationship which he told her was tantric spiritual practice. She raises the same theme in a number of interviews, including one with Tricycle magazine in 1996.[3] Campbell's claims were met with disbelief among Kalu Rinpoche's followers and are still disputed by followers of Kalu Rinpoche who were familiar with him over the same period that June Campbell alleges she was in the abusive sexual relationship. Since the book was published she has received "letters from women all over the world with similar and worse experiences" with other gurus.[4] She waited 18 years before publishing her work. The book itself does not detail the relationship in any detail or provide conclusive proof. It seeks to place her understanding of her personal experiences within a more theoretical understanding of the role of the feminine in Tibetan Buddhism. Second Kalu Rinpoche[edit] At 3:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 10, 1989, Kalu Rinpoche died at his monastery in Sonada. On September 17, 1990 Rinpoche's Tulku was born in Darjeeling, India to Lama Gyaltsen and his wife Drolkar. Lama Gyaltsen had served since his youth as his secretary. Former kalu rinpoche, he himself choose his reincarnation. He did that by showing the mother, from whom he is going to talke a birth. Chamgon Tai Situ Rinpoche officially recognized Kalu Rinpoche’s yangsi (young reincarnation) on March 25, 1992, explaining that he had received definite signs from Kalu Rinpoche himself. Situ Rinpoche sent a letter of recognition with Lama Gyaltsen to the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, who immediately confirmed the recognition.[5] On February 28, 1993, Yangsi Kalu Rinpoche was enthroned at Samdrup Tarjayling. Chamgon Tai Situ Rinpoche and Goshir Gyaltsap Rinpoche presided over the ceremony, assisted by Kalu Rinpoche’s heart-son, Bokar Rinpoche. Situ Rinpoche performed the hair-cutting ceremony and bestowed on the young tulku the name Karma Ngedön Tenpay Gyaltsen — Victory Banner of the Teachings of the True Meaning. He is now known as the Second Kalu Rinpoche. (In the USA Kagyu organization, Karma Triyana Dharmachakra, recognizes Yangsi Kalu Rinpoche (1990 to present) as the third Kalu Rinpoche; and Kalu Rinpoche is listed as the second Kalu Rinpoche.[6]) In the fall of 2011, Kalu Yangsi gave a talk at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.[7] At the end of the talk, a student in the audience asked for his perspective on the sexual abuse and sexualisation of children in the west. Kalu disclosed he was abused, paused then broke down, revealing for the first time that he had been sexually abused at the age of 12 by older monks[8] from the monastery he attended. Shortly after that he posted a video on YouTube[9] so that the story would not become unsubstantiated gossip.
