The XII Tai Situpa



 
The lineage of the Tai Situpas is traced to one of the main disciples of the Gotama Buddha, the Bodhisattva Maitreya. Since that time there have been a successive chain of incarnations, whose achievements are recorded in Sanskrit, Chinese and Tibetan annals. A direct lineage that continues to the present day. Some of whose biographies can be found here.

The Tibetan incarnation Chokyi Gyaltsen 1377-1448), became the first to bear the title Tai Situ. The title was presented in China by the Ming Emperor, Yung Lo, in 1407, and though the full title is lengthy it may be shortened to Kuang Ting Tai Situ which essentially means, "far reaching, unshakable, great master, holder of the command."

The twelfth Tai Situpa is the founder and Spiritual Head of Sherab Ling. A leading spiritual teacher who tours the world, a campaigner for active-peace, artist, poet, author, architect and geomancer.
