Guru Deva Rinpoche, Lobsang Tenzin Gyatso Pal Sangpo

One of the 84 Siddhas' emanations, the great sage Bundasheri Tulku Guru Deva's reincarnation as Guru Deva Rinpoche was born in Hanchen Hoshuu of Ordos, Mongolia to create great benefits for the Dharma and all sentient beings.

From his childhood, he was installed to the throne of Hutugtu and lived in Ordos until he was 20 years old. Then he traveled to the Land of Snows and studied in the great Monastic University of Drepung under Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche, Kyabje Yongzin Trijang Dorje Chang, Kyabje Yongzin Ling Rinpoche and Kyabje Gonsar Rinpoche and fully acquired the qualities of the Sutras and Tantras.

When the Dalai Lama and many other ordained and non-ordained people immigrated to India and Nepal, he helped extensively to establish the Palace of the Dalai Lama, the three Great Monastic Universities Sera, Drepung and Ganden as well as many other monasteries, temples and accommodations. A great number of representations of Buddha's body, speech and mind were established under his guidance.

Guru Deva Rinpoche is especially widely known for having made many generous offerings and donations to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, His Holiness' two tutors and the three great monasteries, Sera, Drepung and Ganden, at a time when Tibetans in exile in India experienced a shortage of everything.

In 1991, when Buddhism revived in Mongolia, Guru Deva Rinpoche visited Amarbayasgalant, the Monastery of Undur Gegeen, and decided to restore temples, statues, scriptures, accommodation and education for the benefit of the beings there.

From 1992 onwards, he accomplishing these activities in a vast and complete manner, giving the restored facilities to monks and the people of Mongolia. In spite of his old age, he continued to accomplish these activities fully, bringing great benefit to many beings, until he passed away.

In 1986, Rinpoche donated his house in Drepung Gomang to the monaster and left India. Guru Deva Rinpoche eventually returned to Mongolia, his native country, where he remained isolated from the Tibetan community until his death in 2009.
