Tulku Sherdor

Tulku Sherdor has been the Executive Director of the Blazing Wisdom Institute since 2004. Born in Montreal, Canada in 1961, he practiced Buddhist Insight meditation as a teenager and met his principal teacher, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, in Nepal in 1981. He was fortunate to study with many other pre-eminent Tibetan Buddhist masters of the 20th century.

Early in his life, he completed a forty-month lama retreat in the Karma and Shangpa Kagyu schools of Tibetan Buddhism under Kalu Rinpoche, and a year-long solitary retreat in the Chogling Tersar practice lineage held by Tulku Urgyen. He has since completed ten years of intensive retreats. After meeting his root guru Orgyen Kusum Lingpa in 1997, he served him faithfully and tirelessly for 13 years.

Tulku Sherdor’s work teaching, serving and translating the dharma spans four decades, and is detailed in his memoirs A Path Strewn with Flowers & Bones, and in several others among his ten published dharma books. He is also a virtuoso chant master.
