LIGHT OF FEARLESS INDESTRUCTIBLE WISDOM: The Life and Legacy of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpocheby Khenpo Tsewang DongyalBeloved master, visionary, poet, revealer of profound spiritual treasures, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche was a paramount figure in the history of twentieth-century Tibet. He worked closely with H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama to reinvigorate Tibetan culture and spiritual practice following the loss of their homeland. Nyingma masters and devotees, both ordained and lay, unanimously appointed him Supreme Head of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism, and he served in this capacity until his passing in 1987. He wrote over two dozen volumes of poetry, music, history, philosophy, and most importantly, revealed and restored sacred termas of Guru Rinpoche. In addition, he assembled and published texts which might otherwise have been lost, and delivered unprecedented numbers of empowerments and teachings to hundreds of thousands of individuals. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche is a holder of the kama, terma, and Dzogchen teachings of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. He was enthroned by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche as a master of these lineages. Scholar, author, and poet, he is the co-founder of Padmasambhava Buddhist Center, based at Padma Samye Ling monastery and retreat center in New York State. Khenpo Rinpoche had the great privilege of being a close personal attendant and secretary to His Holiness from 1980 through 1983. On two occasions when they were alone, His Holiness told Khenpo Tsewang about the life of his father and, in great detail, about how His Holiness himself had taken rebirth. This book is the product of everything His Holiness told Khenpo Rinpoche, and also what Khenpo Rinpoche learned about him from his vajra brothers and sisters. EXPLORE THIS TITLE FURTHER...
