Padampa Sangye was an eleventh-century Indian yogi and spiritual
master (known also as Kamalashila) who traveled widely throughout
his life and brought Indian Buddhist teachings to China and
Tibet.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910-1991) was a highly accomplished
meditation master, scholar, and poet, and a principal holder of the
Nyingma lineage. His extraordinary depth of realization enabled him
to be, for all who met him, a foundation of loving-kindness,
wisdom, and compassion. A dedicated exponent of the nonsectarian
Rime movement, Khyentse Rinpoche was respected by all schools of
Tibetan Buddhism and taught many eminent teachers, including His
Holiness the Dalai Lama. He tirelessly worked to uphold the Dharma
through the publication of texts, the building of monasteries and
stupas, and by offering instruction to thousands of people
throughout the world. His writings in Tibetan fill twenty-five
volumes.
