Lama Ngawang Rigdzin
Introduction
Personal comments from Lama Ngawang Rigdzin
The venerable Lama Ngawang Rigdzin was Born in 1961 into the
family of a spiritual healer in Kathmandu, Nepal. From his early years he
expressed interest in understanding the true purpose and nature of life. He
grew up with the inspiration of his father, a renowned spiritual healer in his
native community and a follower of the Tibetan Bon tradition who showed him
through experience the benefits of practices such as spiritual distance healing.
Young Lama Ngawang Rigdzin began the search for his own spiritual master who
would teach him the secrets of the path of Dharma, the ancient teachings of
Buddhism.
He visited many holy places and masters in Nepal and India,
learning spiritual practices that brought him to understand the importance of
natural healing in the service of others. “To serve other people is to serve
supreme beings” became his highest maxim. He sought deep understanding of the
healing powers of Dr Mikao Usui, the Japanese Buddhist monk who rediscovered
Reiki. As these powers related with the Buddhist text known as the Lotus Sutra,
Lama Ngawang Rigdzin undertook the study of Vajrayana Buddhism under a Rinpoche,
or high incarnated Lama, at Serlo Monastary, Solukhumbu, in the Himalayan region
of Nepal. Finally, his spiritual search led him to India to be invested with
the title of Reiki Grand Master.
Lama Ngawang Rigdzin established the Reiki Meditation Centre in
Kathmandu, Nepal. In its early days it functioned near to the Great Stupa at
Boudha and later at the Swayambhunath Stupa at Bhagwanpau. At present it is
located in Samakhushi where it is now well known in both Nepal and to many
foreigners. It has benefited well over 6000 people in its Reiki treatments both
from Nepal and internationally and has helped over 1000 people to help find
their own ‘right path’. It has also conducted many thousands of Reiki
initiations.
Lama Ngawang Rigdzin is now currently working towards the
creation of what he describes as the world’s first ever Reiki Hospital
(Formerly: Spiritual Healing Centre) which is to be based just outside of
Kathmandu in the foothills of the Himalayas. This project is initially being
funded through donations so if you wish to be involved please either contact us

Personal comments from
Lama Ngawang Rigdzin
While we experience this human life, such a valuable gift should
not be wasted diverted from its purpose of self-fulfillment, which is to make
efforts to serve the well-being of all living creatures. This is the teaching
the sages have sent us since ancient times. From the day I understood this, I
spent most of my time absorbed in contemplating and meditating on divine cosmic
knowledge, although previously I had been involved in the more material
interests of family and public relationships. After a few years I became curious
to learn about supreme power and divine healing methods. To shed more light on
these concerns I began a quest for truth, which led me from the Himalayas of
Nepal to the deserts of India. The point I stand at now, is the intention to
serve mankind throughout my life. In order to bring healing to those in need, I
established the "Bodhisattva Meditation and Treatment Centre" at Bijeshwori.
Through this organization I began using Reiki as a vehicle of healing through
compassion. This is how the majority of healers contacted me and received the
benefits of cosmic healing energy. Eventually we began working as a unit. I
realized that such knowledge should not be kept to individuals but passed on to
family members, friends and humankind in general, in order to construct a better
tomorrow. That is the reason I left my family - to spread welfare in the world -
and devotion to divine power gave me the hope of serving humanity. It was
painful to be away from home, but I was prepared to face all kind of
difficulties to further the cause. By the grace of my Gurus and a majority of
colleagues we decided to rename the organization and register it as “Nepal Reiki
Meditation Centre”, dedicated to spiritual practice, cosmic healing and
meditation. At the same time, demand for Reiki was surging; this led us to a
wider, expanded view of Reiki, opening out to the vision of a Reiki Hospital - a
vision both clear and very moving. As I still recall, it was beauty of this
vision that made me roll up my sleeves and get to work.
