Pema is a buddhist scholar and yogi with over 15 years of study and practice especially in the Dudjom Tersar tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He has studied with renowned masters such as The Dalai Lama, Dzongsar Khyentse, and his Guru Loppon Jigme Rinpoche.

​

His path here was anything but conventional. Losing both parents in childhood, and later his inheritance, taught him early how fragile worldly security can be. Music became his refuge, and eventually his career — a successful one that took him around the world. But the deeper questions that had followed him since childhood never went away.

​

Then came a crisis that brought everything into question. During that time, something shifted: a direct recognition of how impermanent our thoughts, emotions, and experiences really are. That recognition changed the course of his life. He left his career and possessions behind and spent the next fifteen years in deep study and practice.

In 2016 Pema founded La Casa de Loto to share what he discovered, making the depth of traditional retreat accessible to anyone. After closing for about two years, it reopened it´s doors in July 2026.
