Meet Padma Guru
A Life Dedicated to Wisdom, Meditation & Compassion
Born in the sacred Nyinba villages of Humla, Nepal, Padma Guru was immersed in the rich spiritual traditions of Tibetan Buddhism from an early age. Raised in a family deeply connected to the Dharma, his spiritual foundation was nurtured by his mother, the daughter of a respected yogi lama, who introduced him to meditation, devotion, and the timeless teachings of Buddhist wisdom.
At the age of twelve, his journey led him to Varanasi, India, where he began his formal education in Tibetan Buddhist philosophy. His dedication to learning and practice later took him to Namdroling Monastery in South India and subsequently to the prestigious Drepung Monastery, where he completed advanced studies and earned a Master’s degree in Buddhist Philosophy, Meditation, and Monastic Discipline.
A Journey of Study, Practice & Service
For decades, Padma Guru has devoted his life to the study and practice of Buddhist teachings. His path has been shaped not only by academic learning but also by direct experience, contemplative practice, and years of monastic service.
Following the completion of his studies, he dedicated seven years to teaching, mentoring young monks, and contributing to the growth of the monastic community. Through this service, he cultivated a deep understanding of how ancient wisdom can be applied to the challenges of modern life.
Today, based in Sarnath—the sacred place where the Buddha first turned the Wheel of Dharma—he continues to guide students and practitioners in meditation, Buddhist philosophy, and mindful living.
Preserving Sacred Tibetan Traditions
Alongside his formal training, Padma Guru has devoted years to preserving and practicing ancient Tibetan rituals passed down through his spiritual lineage.
These sacred ceremonies are rooted in centuries of wisdom and are traditionally performed for healing, purification, protection, blessings, and spiritual empowerment. With deep respect for these traditions, he now shares selected practices with sincere seekers who wish to deepen their spiritual journey and inner transformation.
