Lama Gangchen Rinpoche was born in 1941 in
Tibet. He is the holder of a long uninterrupted lineage
of lama healers and tantric masters. In exile since
1963, he has since become an Italian citizen and lives
in Italy. Aside from spreading the NgalSo tantric Self-
Healing method of body, speech, mind and the
environnment, he teaches how to cultivate inner
peace, which is the very basis for world peace and
which expresses the essence of every religion and
every spiritual tradition. He is responsible for many
peace study centres around the world and founded
the Lama Gangchen World Peace Foundation in 1992,
a non governmental organisation affiliated to the
United Nations, with its headquarters in Albagnano
di B�e. He actively promotes the creation of a
permanent spiritual forum for world peace at the
United Nations, made up of representatives of all
major and minor spiritual and religious traditions.

Kalachakra Festival
Lama Gangchen wishes to dedicate the year 2006 to
the celebration of the Kalachakra Tantra for world
peace; also known as the Wheel of Time Tantra, this
practice was taught by Buddha Shakyamuni some
2500 years ago and was His last great teaching:
requested by Suchandra, the King of Shambala (a
kingdom believed to be situated near lake Baikal in
Mongolia), who was searching for a healing method
to extend enlightenment to himself and his kingdom,
and to create thus a peaceful and ideal society. This
practice offers the very key to understanding and
harmonizing the energies of body and mind with that
of the universe, by using them to develop inner peace,
world peace, healing and to transform our ordinary
lives into transcendental lives. There are different
Kalachakra practices: in relation with the external,
inner and alternative Kalachakra. The Kalachakra
Tantra is vast, and includes the principles of astrology,
astronomy and cosmology, as well as the Tibetan
medical system and the secret yoga tantra methods.

Mantra, protection and remedies according to the ancient Tibetan tradition
The Tibetan medical tradition, one of the most ancient methods used to alleviate physical and mental
suffering, is composed of natural remedies. These are made up of roots, stems, leaves, flowers and seeds,
and therefore contain the energy of the five elements in their pure state. The Tibetan tradition also places
great importance on diet, seasonal influences, behavioural and mental attitudes, in order to stay in good
physical and mental health. The Healing Lama traditionally offers a protection cord and a mantra for self-
healing and spiritual company. Appointments with the Healing Lama can be made in the secretariat
for individual consultations, pulse reading and advice on a correct diet.
