He was born in 1962 in Nyarong, in Kardze, also in Kham. He is currently one of the main teachers at Larung Gar, which is the largest monastic institution in Tibet, if not in the world. He is the director of training in the Kagyu tradition at Larung Gar and was designated by 17th Karmapa, head of the Karma Kagyu tradition, to oversee the reconstruction of monasteries in Kham.
The Khenpo (the term means “scholar” or “abbot”) took ordination in secret at the age of eight during the Cultural Revolution and practiced dharma for many years. When he was seventeen, he joined Tshokha monastery, an important Kagyu center in Nyarong, and spent several years in meditation in a cave at Tshokha. Later he received teachings from various lineages including the Rinchen terzod, Dzodun, and Nyingtik yabzhi practices.
In his early years at Larung Gar, Khenpo Jamyang served as the attendant to Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok and completed advanced studies of five principal treatises in Buddhist philosophy (the Prajnaparamita, Madhyamaka, Pramana, Abhidharma, and Vinaya), as well as the yogic practices of Dzogchen and Mahamudra. He specialized in the study of language, was certified as a Khenpo, and became the first teacher of Sanskrit at the Institute. When the Kagyu department was founded at Larung Gar in 1997, Khenpo Jamyang was assigned as the director, as well as the teacher for the five treatises and the science of language.
In 2002 Khenpo went to India, where he visited the 17th Karmapa. When he decided to return to Tibet, he was asked by the Karmapa to oversee restoration work at Tshokha and the other Kagyu monasteries in Kham.
The Khenpo moved to Shenzhen on the east coast of China in 2002, becoming one of the first of Jigme Phuntsok’s students from Larung Gar to give Tibetan Buddhist teachings in the mainland areas of China. There he provided general support and, later, Buddhist teaching for local residents. The number of students and followers gradually increased and the Khenpo has since become well known as a religious teacher in many other places in China. He has established teaching centers in over thirty cities with hundreds of thousands of students. He has particular interest in addressing mental health issues in contemporary society, and has developed a series of methods to help with anxiety and other psychological problemsvisualizza meno
