Tibetan Lama, author and meditation master Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche brought to the UAE the message of peace and harmony as he reiterated that the UAE embodies tolerance, understanding, and peaceful coexistence among people of different nationalities and faiths.
He is the abbot of Shyalpa Monastery and Nunnery in Kathmandu, Nepal, where over 150 monks and nuns are in residence, receiving spiritual and secular education.
In 2013, the Nepalese government entrusted him with the task of developing a precious tract of land in Lumbini, Nepal, the birthplace of Lord Buddha where he decided to create The Universal Peace Sanctuary Project which is currently under construction.
He explained that the UAE has established itself as a hub of cultural exchange and dialogue, hosting numerous initiatives aimed at promoting interfaith harmony and global peace.
“As I travel around the world and share my vision for the peace sanctuary, I meet people who are inspired. I feel that every country on earth could benefit from a centre dedicated to the quest for peace.”
Lama Shyalpa Rinpoche expressed his desire to return to Dubai soon to collaborate on the peace project as it’s a country where over 200 nationalities live harmoniously.
“The UAE is an inspiring country where the leaders have already established Tolerance Ministry. Here, I see a possibility to invite everyone from around the world to promote peace and we are planning to organise a peace gala this winter. Dubai is most suitable place where we can have in-depth conversation on peace by working closely with the government and its Ministry of Tolerance,” said the eminent monk who was recognised as a holy child and began training as a lama from the age of four.
He has founded meditation and teaching centres in the United States, including Buddhafield, the Center for Enlightenment in Millerton, New York. In Asia, he founded Wencheng Gongzhu International Foundation in Hong Kong (China) and its branches in Taiwan (China) and Malaysia.
