Maniwa Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoche was a great master of the Karma Kagyu lineage, renowned for his vast learning, his pure discipline, and above all his boundless compassion. A master of the Chenrezig mantra Om Mani Padme Hum, after having recited over a billion Mani mantras he was given the title “Maniwa.” As a close disciple of His Holiness the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa and a contemporary of Shamar Rinpoche, he dedicated his entire life to the Dharma and to the benefit of beings. He guided countless students across the world with profound knowledge and immeasurable kindness.
