Lama Yesche U. Regel
Buddhist teacherLama Yesche U. Regel has been teaching Buddhist teachings and meditation throughout the German-speaking world for many decades. In 1977, he first met the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa and then other Tibetan lamas, and was involved in establishing several Buddhist meditation and teaching centers, including the Kamalashila Institute (1981) and the Halscheid Retreat Center (1985). He was a student of Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche and Lama Gendün Rinpoche and also met many other Buddhist teachers. From 1980 to 1997, he was ordained as a monk and completed a closed three-year retreat during this time. Since then, he has been a “freelancer” and teaches Buddhism and meditation throughout the German-speaking world. From 2005 to 2025, he ran the Paramita practice room for mindfulness and Buddhist meditation in Bonn together with Angelika Wild-Regel. His own PARAMITA ONLINE program accompanies many people in their regular meditation practice. He has published two books: “Compassion for Yourself, Others, and the World/Tonglen Practice” and “Self-Compassion through Tonglen.” http://www.yesche.de
