Lama Michel Tulku Rinpoche was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1981. He is a Buddhist master and spiritual guide of several Buddhist centres around the world. Recognised as the reincarnation of a Tibetan master, at the age of 12 he decided to undertake a traditional education in India and Tibet under the guidance of Lama Gangchen Rinpoche and other distinguished masters, which he completed over the next 22 years. His ability to make the deep and vast Buddhist philosophy and practice accessible, clear and relevant to contemporary society makes him a valuable bridge between traditional wisdom and the needs of today's world, bringing a secular spirituality into everyday life.
He lives in Italy at the Albagnano Healing Meditation Centre on Lake Maggiore.

Albagnano Healing Meditation Centre is home to the Kunpen Lama Gangchen Association and the Temple of Heaven on Earth. A place of worship open to the public, it is dedicated to the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism and is increasingly a point of reference for a community of people who share an interest in spirituality and a life in harmony with nature.
T.Y.S. Lama Gangchen Rinpoche, Tibetan master and healer, founded the Albagnano Healing Meditation Centre in 1999. A small Tibet that preserves Himalayan art and culture and hosts Tibetan lamas and other masters all year round.
