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 in the Hilay Chaubas
village of Kavre district 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.
Initially in
1996 he learned Hatha yoga in 1997-02-07 by the well-known Dr. Yogi
Vikasananda, at Siddhi Sadhana International (Ananda Yoga Center) in Satungal,
Kathmandu, Nepal and also received initiation into reiki healing power courses
1 & 2 level. After some miracle healing experiences to himself and others,
he got inspired to deep study and meditate in Reiki and spiritual path. He took
decision to go to the Himalayan region to the remote monastery Serlo gonpa,
become lama and started to study about Buddhism to know more secret teachings
of healing. During his stay in the monastery he served to lamas and also public.
After 2 years living in the monastery he went back to Kathmandu and received
initiation in 3th and 4th level of Usui Reiki being invested with the title of

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
personal 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
for the rest of my life. In order to bring healing to those in need, I
established the “Bodhisattva Meditation and Treatment Center” at Bijeshwori,
kathmandu near to Swayambhunath 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 mankind in general, in
order to construct a better tomorrow. That is the reason for the time being
with the permission of family 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 Center”, 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 idea 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.
