Lama Michel, a young Brazilian born in 1981, has been
recognized by Lama Gangchen and many great lamas as a Tulku – the
reincarnation of a Tibetan Buddhist Master. He has chosen to be born in
Brazil not only in order to benefit the whole country and South America,
but the whole of contemporary society.
Lama Gangchen
visited Brazil for the first in 1987, invited by Lama Michel’s parents -
Bel and Daniel. From this encounter was born a strong connection with
the whole family, who founded the first of many Dharma Centers under the
guidance of Lama Gangchen: the ‘Shi De Choe Tsog’ Center.
Over the years,
contacts with Bel, Daniel and Lama Michel’s sister Fernanda have
increasingly been strengthened. Spontaneously, at the age of twelve,
Lama Michel decides to leave his ‘normal life’ in order to engage in a
monastic life in the south of India, where he presently resides.
Lama Michel has
repeatedly visited sacred sites in India, Nepal, Indonesia, Cambodia,
Mongolia and Tibet. During all these pilgrimages, he has had many
intuitions, dreams and special visions. Lama Michel’s character and his
altruistic attitude began then to manifest themselves in a traditionally
Buddhist way.
Great Lamas as
Zopa Rinpoche, Daghiab Rinpoche and Gelek Rinpoche have confirmed that
Lama Michel is the reincarnation of Drubchok Ghialwa Sandrup – a 15th
century Lama from Gangchen Choepel Ling, a monastery in Tibet, at the
beginning of Lama Tsong Khapa’s Ghelupa schooll, at the times of the
first Dalai Lama. Panchen Zangpo Tashi, one of Lama Gangchen’s
reincarnations, founded the Gangchen Choepel Ling monastery. His
successor, the second regent of the throne, was Drubchok Ghialwa Sandrup
– a great yogi and master who gave various philosophical teachings.
Lama Michel is
really a special young man, and many people have noticed his pure energy
– which is like the energy of Maitreya, the future Buddha of Love. His
Tibetan name is Chiang Chub Choepel Lobsang Nientrak – which means the
‘Wise and famous Mind of enlightenment, who spreads the peace message of
Dharma successfully’.
And, with his
look which reflects infinite space and his very sweet smile, Lama Michel
astonishes and conquers everybody, leaving in people’s hearts the hope
that peace and love will soon triumph.
“ It is my hope and wish that Lama Michel be a good
servant to humanity, fulfilling the needs of each individual who seeks
his guidance, and that he may be a Peace Messenger for our world
environment, a peace culture maker a peacemaker to transform all violent
culture towards a new peace culture in the new millennium”
