Since Khangser Rinpoche was born in a Tibetan family following Nyingma tradition, he had the opportunity to receive precious teaching from great Tibetan masters holding Nyingma and Sakya lineage.

He advises and encourages people to cultivate inner peace and happiness by practicing mind training in daily lives.
