Sogyal Rinpoche
|
|
| |
Born in Kham in Eastern Tibet, Sogyal Rinpoche was recognized as the incarnation
of Lerab Lingpa Tertön Sogyal, a teacher to the thirteenth Dalaï-Lama, by Jamyang Khyentse
Chökyi Lodrö, one of the most outstanding masters of the twentieth century. Jamyang Khyentse
supervised Rinpoche's training and raised him like his own son.
In 1971, Rinpoche went to England where he received a Western education, studying Comparative Religion
at Cambridge University. He went on to study with many other great masters, of all schools of Tibetan
Buddhism, serving as their translator and aide. With his remarkable gift for presenting the essence
of Tibetan Buddhism in a way that is both authentic and profoundly relevant to the modern mind, Sogyal
Rinpoche is one of the most renowned teachers of our time.
