Lama Kalu Rinpočhe bol uznávaným budhistickým majstrom, meditačným učiteľom a učiteľom, ktorý patril medzi prvých tibetských majstrov, ktorí začali vyučovať na Západe. Jeho učenie hlboko čerpalo z tradícií Karma Kagjü a Šangpa Kagjü, kde strávil desaťročia štúdiom a praxou, vrátane niekoľkoročných meditačných ústraní. Po pätnásťročnom pobyte ako samotársky jogín v tibetskom vidieckom prostredí sa stal váženým opátom kláštora a meditačným učiteľom, kým nebol nútený odísť do exilu. V exile potom rozšíril tibetské budhistické učenie do Ameriky a Európy, kde založil meditačné centrá a zaviedol tradičné trojročné ústrania pre západných študentov, čím významne prispel k šíreniu budhistickej filozofie.
