Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Born in 1920 in the Dergé region of Kham, Eastern Tibet, Dilgo Khyentsé Rinpoche was recognized as the mind emanation of Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo (1820-92), and was one of the closest disciples of Jamyang Khyentsé Wangpo’s activity emanation, Jamyang Khyentsé Chökyi Lodrö (1896-1959). Regarded by many as one of the greatest Dzogchen masters of the twentieth century, and the very embodiment of Padmasambhava, Dilgo Khyentsé Rinpoche was the teacher of many of the important lamas of today.
