A great scholar and teacher, H.E. Neten Tulku Rinpoche was recognized by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama as the 9th reincarnation of Neten Tulku, whose lineage can be traced back to the 11th Arhat, Phagpa Lamchung. Phagpa Lamchung was one of the 16 Arhat Buddha Shakyamuni personally selected from amongst his disciples and requested them to remain in the world protecting the Dharma until the time of the future Buddha Maitreya.
