Born in the eastern province of Kham, Tibet, Gyaltsen has been studying Buddhism since the age of five. In 1959 he went into exile in India, where he began teaching. In 1979 he received the highest degree of Geshe Lharampa.

This will be his second visit to the tip of the Cape. While on a tour of the U.S. in the spring of 2007, Gyaltsen stopped in Provincetown to give talks and teach seminars.
