In [[Tibetan Buddhism]] the  '''Tai Situpa''' is one of the lineages of [[tulku]]s, reincarnated [[lama]]s, in the [[Kagyu]] school.  According to tradition, the Tai Situpa is an [[emanation]] of the [[bodhisattva]] [[Maitreya]], who will become the next Buddha, and who has been incarnated as numerous [[India]]n and Tibetan [[yogin]]s since the time of the [[Gautama Buddha|historical Buddha]].  The title Tai Situpa, or more completely ''Khentin Tai Situpa'' means  "far-reaching, unshakable, great master, holder of the command".  The holder of this title is also called '''Situ Rinpoche''' and '''Tai Situ'''.

The current and 12th Tai Situpa, [[Péma Tönyö Nyinjé]], was born in a farming family in 1954 in the [[Palyul]] district of [[Dérgé]], in the East of [[Tibet]]. At the age of five he left Tibet for [[Bhutan]], where King [[Jigme Dorji Wangchuk]] had been a disciple of the [[11th Tai Situpa]].  Later he was cared for at [[Rumtek Monastery]] in [[Sikkim]], [[India]] where he received religious instruction from the [[16th Karmapa]]. The 16th Karmapa had himself been raised under the guidance of the 11th Tai Situpa. Indeed this alternation between teacher and pupil for the Karmapas, Tai Situpas and other lineage holders from the 1st Karmapa and on has served as a mechanism for continuity within the Kagyu tradition.  As Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche wrote in his book ''Born in Tibet'':  “Tai Situ Rinpoche, who was second in importance in the Karma Kagyu school, had died some years before and no reincarnation had been found.  The Karmapa could now tell them where the incarnation had taken place.  Everyone rejoiced and started immediately to make the preparations."
