2nd Chairman

To our great joy, Tulku Tenzin Thösam has been on board since 2020. He was born in Tibet, completed his education in exile at the Ratö monastery and earned a Master's degree at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics. He is currently studying Tibetology at the University of Hamburg and is also the head of the Art and Culture Department at Tibet House Germany. Thösam Rinpoche is perfectly suited to supervise the projects in exile, as he knows India and Nepal very well, the mentality, the peculiarities and the languages.
