Overview

Dr. Sfeir-Younis’s tributes to spiritual teachers reveal the lineages of wisdom shaping his work—from Sikh masters Guru Nanak and Yogi Bhajan to Tibetan Buddhist teacher Lama Gangchen Tulku Rinpoche, from Chilean philosopher Gastón Soublette to Theravada monk Most Venerable Kalyanathissa Maha Thero. His gratitude extends beyond personal mentorship to honoring those who demonstrated that spiritual practice and social transformation are inseparable paths.

His 2020 tributes to Lama Gangchen—”The Greatest Master and Healer”—and subsequent 2024 book “Walking With Lama Gangchen Tulku Rinpoche” document decades of learning Tibetan Buddhist healing practices, particularly NgalSo self-healing and Chenrezig meditation. His recognition that Yogi Bhajan was “my older brother in Guru Nanak” shows how Sikh teachings on service, equality, and conscious living informed his economic and political work.

Through honoring Gastón Soublette with Chile’s National Peace Prize (2023), eulogizing political figures like Patricio Aylwin and Sebastián Piñera with spiritual perspective, and celebrating “A Pocket Full of Buddhas” (108 enlightened beings), Dr. Sfeir-Younis demonstrates that spiritual lineage transcends individual teachers—it’s collective wisdom passed through generations, adapted to contemporary crises, serving planetary healing. His tributes are not hagiography but transmission: carrying forward teachings into action.
