Tarthang Tulku (b. 1934) is a Tibetan teacher (lama) in the Nyingma tradition who lives in America, where he works to preserve the art and culture of Tibet. He oversees various projects including Dharma Publishing, Yeshe-De, Tibetan Aid Project, and the construction of the Odiyan Copper Mountain Mandala. He is probably the first lama of the Nyingma lineage to teach in the United States. Tarthang Tulku introduced Kum Nye into the West, which is similar to such practices as Hatha Yoga or Tai Chi.
