These verses point directly to the nature of mind (rigpa), offering a clear and powerful introduction to the Great Perfection teachings.

The teachings will be presented with clarity and care, making them accessible to sincere practitioners at all levels.

He completed a traditional three-year retreat under the guidance of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche at Asura Cave in Nepal, and later taught at Ka-Nying Shedrup Ling Monastery and the Rangjung Yeshe Institute, helping to establish advanced curricula in Buddhist philosophy and practice.
Alongside his traditional training, Khenpo Rinpoche serves as faculty at the University of California, Berkeley, and is currently a doctoral candidate, completing a dissertation on Dzogchen philosophy. He teaches internationally, offering Dharma with depth, precision, and warmth.
