Tsesok Jamkyong Ling: Sanctuary of Loving Kindness for Saving & Protecting Lives

Every year, H.E. Lingtrul Rinpoche, saves goats and sheep from suffering and certain death.

Once saved, they transition into lives of peace and contentment, playing a vital role in preventing wildfires by grazing on grass and vegetation in the San Francisco Bay Area, in California. Together, we have already saved 4,599 goats and sheep, thanks to the unwavering kindness and generosity of donors.

H.E. Lingtrul Rinpoche

H.E. Lingtrul Rinpoche was recognized at the age of three by H.H. Kathok Chatsa Rinpoche as the reincarnation of Ling Lama Chokyi Dorje (the founder of Tra Ling monastery). Rinpoche is the 8th throneholder of Tra Ling, the largest monastery in Golok, Eastern Tibet. Born in Golok in 1957 to a humble nomadic family, Rinpoche travels and teaches throughout the US, Canada & Asia.

“…freeing the lives of sentient beings who are certain to be killed is supreme among all types of longevity practices. For this reason and because freeing lives brings immeasurable benefits, all sensible people should increase their efforts to free lives.”
