Join me for a unique conversation with Jalue Dorje, an 18-year-old from Minnesota who is also the reincarnated Taksham Rinpoche recognized by the Dalai Lama.A Dual Life: He shares the surreal experience of being recognized at age four, sitting with high lamas, studying all the time, while navigating life as a normal American teenager.Modern Rinpoche: We discuss Rinpoche's passion for the Atlanta Falcons, trading cards, playing Madden, and his appreciation for rappers like Lil Baby.Future & Philosophy: Taksham Rinpoche talks about his biggest challenge—the vast study of Tibetan Buddhism—and his core, simple value: "If you can’t help them, don’t hurt them. Just be a good person."Listen now for a funny yet profound look at a new generation of Tibetan leadership.Follow Taksham Rinpoche:Instagram: @ft.luedortWebsite: https://takshamtulku.org/SUPPORTOUT OF TIBET is a free podcast.
