Biography
Lama Yulu Tulku Rinpoche was born in 1962 in eastern Tibet, in a small village called
Choney. At the age of 20 he decided to become a monk at the Choney Comce Monastery,
where he stayed for about three years gaining the respect of villagers thanks to his
miraculous healings.
From 1988 to 1992 Yulu Rinpoche studied Buddhist philosophy with Geshe Yeshe
Wangchuk in the Sera Mey Monastery in Lhasa, Tibet. He then moved to the Ganden
Monastery in India, where in 1994 he was officially recognised by His Holiness the 14th
Dalai Lama as the 7th reincarnation of the 6th Lama Yulu Hototu Rinpoche, abbot of the
Choney Comce Monastery. Tulku enthronement ceremonies were in fact prohibited in
Tibet by the Chinese government.
In 1998 Lama Yulu Rinpoche joined several friends and Lamas - including His Holiness
Kyabje Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche and His Eminence Gonsar Tulku Rinpoche - in
Switzerland.
Two years later he finally arrived in Milan, Italy, his home-country to date. In December of
the same year, he visited for the first time the UNESCO World Heritage Site and Stupa of
Borobudur in Central Java, Indonesia, together with His Eminence Lama Gangchen
Rinpoche, monks and disciples.
Back in Italy, Yulu Rinpoche settled down in Urbino, in the Marche region, where he
stayed until 2016 and set up the Choney Yulu Hototu Tara Meditation Centre in the nearby
town of Fano.
Lama Yulu Rinpoche is nicknamed by his Italian friends the ‘Smile Lama' or the 'Rainbow
Lama' because of his joyful and humble attitude. According to him, the first step towards
happiness is smiling to life, as laughers release positive energy and send away negative
thoughts. He enjoys being close to people, with an extremely simple approach.
Lama Yulu now travels between Italy and Asia, performing group and private healing
sessions upon invitation. His dream is to bring the power of healing all over the world.
Charity
Lama Yulu maintains the bond with his origins and financially supports needy children and
families of Choney, Tibet.
When you love yourself, every place becomes Shambala - the pure land.
Quando hai amore per te stesso qualsiasi posto diventa Shambala - la terra pura.
As in a mala the string keeps the beads together, the breath keeps life together.
Come nel mala il filo tiene insieme le palline, il respiro tiene insieme la vita.
