Gelek Rimpoche
Tibetan writer
Kyabje Gelek Rimpoche (26 October 1939 – 14 February 2017) was a Tibetan-American Buddhist lama. He was born in Lhasa, China. Gelek was a nephew of the 13th Dalai Lama, Thubten Gyatso. He was tutored by many of the same masters who tutored the current (14th) Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso.
He was the founder and president of Jewel Heart, "a spiritual, cultural, and humanitarian organization that translates the ancient wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism into contemporary life".[1]
Rinpoche died in Ann Arbor, Michigan on 14 February 2017 from heart failure caused by open-heart surgery, aged 77.[2]
