Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche’s website: www.siddharthasintent.org

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche was born in Bhutan in 1961, and was recognized as the main incarnation of the Khyentse lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He was recognized by Sakya Trizin as the reincarnation of Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö, an outstanding teacher who had passed away in 1959. The young tulku was educated primarily by another meditation master, poet and peerless scholar of the Khyentse lineage, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and also received teachings from the great 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, and his own grandfather, Dudjom Rinpoche. From a young age he has actively worked to preserve the Buddhist teaching, establishing centers of learning, supporting practitioners and publishing books and teaching all over the world. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche supervises his traditional seat of Dzongsar Monastery and its retreat centers in Eastern Tibet, as well as his new colleges in India and Bhutan and centers in Australia, North America and Europe. Under the film name Khyentse Norbu, Rinpoche directed the critically acclaimed feature film The Cup and Travelers & Magicians.
