Tarthang Tulku (b. c. 1934) is a Tibetan lama of the Nyingma tradition who settled in the United States and worked to preserve Tibetan religious culture. Among the last to receive a full traditional education in pre-1959 Tibet, he taught in Varanasi (founding Dharma Publishing in 1963) before emigrating to America in 1969. In Berkeley he founded the Nyingma Institute (1972), the Tibetan Aid Project, and the Odiyan retreat complex, and oversaw large-scale Tibetan text preservation and reprinting. Sources differ slightly on his exact birth year. He is reported to remain living.
