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.
"It gives me immense pleasure to know that this authentic account
of the life and activities of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, whom I am
fortunate to revere among my own precious teachers, has been
prepared to remind those who knew him and inform those who did
not.”—His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama
"He was a great leader, and just like a majestic American Indian
chief or a distinguished samurai general, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
was never affected by chaotic or difficult circumstances, however
tumultuous. He always remained quite still, like a mountain,
effortlessly exuding an all-pervasive confidence that evoked
confidence in those around him, and an absolute, unshakeable
equanimity.”—Dzongsar Khyentse, author of What Makes You Not a
Buddhist
