Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal is a wisdom dakini who is believed to have attained the rainbow body of enlightenment in eighth century Tibet. Her wisdom legacy transcends time, gender, and culture. Although her human incarnation is no longer in this world, she is still with us through her life story, teachings, and emanations. Ultimately, she is recognized and known as the absolute nature of our own minds. more

The Dudjom lineage comes to us directly from Guru Padmasambhava through Dudjom Lingpa (1835-1904) and then His Holiness Dudjom Rinmpoche (1904-1987) who was one of Tibet's greatest twentieth century masters. Revered for his intelligence, wisdom, and artistry, he was also a treasure revealer (terton). Among his reveleation is the a cycle of  teachings he received from Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal known as The Dakini Heart Essence (Khandro Thuk Thik). Now translated by Jnanasukha, it is the basis of our path. more

Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche Parinirvana (1931-2011)

Dungse Thinley Norbu passed away on December 26, 2011, in California. He was the eldest son of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche. Recognized as an incarnation of Drime Ozer, one of seven sons of Dudjom Lingpa (1835-1904), he was an incomparable Nyingma scholar and master. He was the father of Garab Dorje Rinpoche, Jampal Rinpoche, and Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. Dungse Rinpoche was also considered an emanation of Longchenpa, the great 14th century Nyingma philosopher.

In his youth, he was educated at Mindrolling in central Tibet. After fleeing Tibet, he lived in Bhutan where in 1974, he built the Thimphu Memorial stupa to honour the memory of the third King, His Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuck. In the 70's, Rinpoche moved to the United States in order to teach in the West upon his father's request. He last visited Bhutan in 2009.

Rinpoche's publications in English include The Small Golden Key, Magic Dance: The Display of the Self-nature of the Five Wisdom Dakinis, White Sail: Crossing the Waves of Ocean Mind to the Serene Continent of the Triple Gems, Welcoming Flowers From Across the Cleansed Threshold of Hope, and A Cascading Waterfall of Nectar.

Tsogyal Latso Film Now Online

In the Minds of All Beings: Tsogyal Latso of Tibet is a twenty-minute documentary that takes us to the eighth century birthplace of Khandro Yeshe Tsogyal, the founding mother of Tibetan Buddhism and the greatest enlightened woman in Tibet. Blending legend and history, the film recounts an ancient story and shows how the wisdom and blessings of Yeshe Tsogyal have continued to our present time.

Filmed during a pilgrimage in 2010, the narrative guides us on a pilgrimage of our own through the sacred landscape of Tsogyal Latso: a self-arisen visionary lake, healing springs with winter-blooming flowers and a vigorous life-force sandalwood tree which dates back to Tsogyal's birth. The film introduces us to a small community of nuns who arrived there after the Cultural Revolution. They came to Tsogyal Latso to revitalize and care for this revered place of the sacred feminine and fulfill their deepest desire for spiritual practice.

History of Buddhism in India & Tibet

The translation of Dudjom Rinpoche's "Brief Account of the Origins of Buddhism in Tibet & The Divisions of the Great and Lesser Vehicles" (Dudjom Collected Works, vol. 2, pgs. 1-30) has been completed. It will be published later this summer in connection with complementary online teaching videos taught by Lama Tsering Gyaltsen and translated by Lama Dechen Yeshe Wangmo.

Our teachers have often explained that knowing about the origins and development of Buddhism is not merely intellectual, but actually provides a firm foundation for our faith in the Buddhist teachings. Then with faith comes a desire to learn and practice and, with engagement, come the blessings that lead to enlightenment.
