LAMA GANGCHEN

INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION USA

“Enlightened masters like Lama Gangchen look like normal human beings, they dress like us, eat like us, shower and sleep like us, but how they interact with the world is completely different. They emanate a profound peace that touches your heart and changes you forever.”

Lama Michel

Remembering My Great Teacher, Lama Gangchen Rinpoche

Today, we have the profound honor of speaking with Lama Michel Rinpoche — a globally respected Buddhist teacher, author, scholar and successor to Lama Gangchen Rinpoche.

Recognized as a reincarnate Lama at the age of five, Lama Michel has devoted his life to teaching and sharing the Buddha Dharma throughout the world. As the spiritual successor to Lama Gangchen Rinpoche, he continues to share teachings on inner peace, healing, and universal responsibility—helping people from all walks of life cultivate a more meaningful and balanced way of living.

In this deeply inspiring and heartfelt conversation, Lama Michel shares his wisdom with clarity, warmth, and humility. He shares inspiring stories of his life with Lama Gangchen and offers practical guidance on how we can transform suffering into a path of growth, cultivate inner peace, and live with greater joy and purpose.

Through personal stories, timeless teachings, and gentle humor, this episode invites us to look within-and discover how each of us can become a source of positive change in our own lives and in the world.
