A Journey of Wisdom: Dmitry Prosvirov’s Encounter with Telo Tulku Rinpoche
25.05.2025
A few years ago, Martial Arts Master Dmitry Prosvirov had the profound honor of welcoming Telo Tulku Rinpoche into his home. As the official representative of His Holiness the Dalai Lama for Russia, Mongolia, and the CIS countries, Rinpoche brought with him a deep well of spiritual wisdom and insight. This visit was far more than a simple meeting—it was a powerful blessing that left a lasting imprint on Dmitry's life and personal journey.
Recently, a meaningful opportunity emerged when a mutual friend, a dedicated teacher of Buddhism, reached out to Dmitry’s wife, Baya. He proposed organizing a weekend retreat for Russian-speaking followers of Buddhism in the United States. Deeply passionate about this spiritual path, Baya devoted several months to planning the event. Her hard work culminated in a retreat that received glowing feedback and touched the hearts of many participants.
While Dmitry was occupied with professional commitments during the retreat, he felt deep gratitude and pride knowing that his wife was playing such an important role in supporting a vibrant spiritual community. Although his participation was limited, Dmitry was fortunate to have a private conversation with Rinpoche—an intimate moment that allowed him to ask meaningful questions and receive profound, insightful answers.
Through this personal exchange, Dmitry gained spiritual knowledge that has already begun to influence his life and work. The wisdom shared by Rinpoche continues to serve as a guiding light in his daily activities and in his interactions as a teacher and martial artist. Dmitry remains deeply grateful to his friend and spiritual teacher, Telo Tulku Rinpoche, for the kindness, time, and wisdom he shared.
Looking ahead, Dmitry hopes for future opportunities to continue learning from Rinpoche. His teachings on meditation and mindfulness provide practical and transformative tools for personal growth, mental clarity, and inner peace—qualities that beautifully complement the discipline of martial arts.
By sharing this meaningful experience, Dmitry Prosvirov hopes to inspire others to seek their own paths toward knowledge and self-discovery. Though the journey may present challenges, with sincere dedication and wise guidance, it can lead to deep transformation, spiritual growth, and a greater sense of purpose.

I’ve had the privilege of studying Kung Fu with Master Dmitry for a considerable time, and his teaching approach stands out for its depth and clarity. His expert guidance has made learning complex techniques accessible and engaging. Under his supervision, I have not only improved my flexibility and physical conditioning but also gained a solid foundation in various martial arts techniques and self-defense strategies. Master Dmitry’s classes extend beyond physical training; they also encompass Qigong practices, the philosophy behind Kung Fu, and its historical evolution. His ability to weave these elements into the curriculum has enriched my understanding and appreciation of this ancient art. For anyone interested in a comprehensive Kung Fu education that develops both body and mind, I highly recommend his instruction. -

Currently a student in college (on my last year!) I have been taking Kung Fu with Dmitry for about 6 months now, and I've only seen positive results. Dmitry's positive attitude and his personality attributes help the one-on-one feel less like I'm at a lecture, although you could say a class is a class, to which I'd disagree. I've taken multiple sports in highschool as well as the beginning of my college years, and I'd go as far to say that this form of physical education is something so unique, it's not just your typical fitness routine It's more than that. Aside from the benefit of physical exercise, the breathing exercises, qi gong, helped me relax my mind which is something I haven't felt in a while, made me much more concentrated, mindful and surroundings overall. I believe if it wasn't the Kung Fu exercises, I would've never been able to do as well in this last half a year at college as I am now. Martial Arts has for sure implemented itself into my life and is very very important to me. Thank you!

Master Dmitry has been a fantastic teacher for me and my entire family, primarily for my children! They just love him! If you're unaware, Dmitry isn't only a great trainer for adults, but also teaches kids, ages of 5 and up, making him not only a variety trainer... My children get the activity and exercise they need, as well as knowledge about the arts and techniques for self defense. This is very important to us. As someone with his own kids, Dmitry has perfectly understood the approach to ours, and how to have fun while also making it their favorite extracurricular.
