Chagdud Rinpoche, abbot of Chagdud Gonpa, fled Tibet during the

Chinese invasion and worked tirelessly over the next twenty years in

Tibetan refugee camps in India and Nepal. At the urging of Western

students, he came to the United States in 1979 and has dedicated his

remaining years to the preservation of the Tibetan Buddhist arts and

teachings.



Rinpoche is a highly realized meditation master and accomplished scholar, artist and poet. As part of his lama training, which began at

the age of five, he received extensive instruction in all aspects of

Tibetan Buddhism, completed two three-year retreats, and studied with

some of the greatest Dzogchen and Vajrayana masters of his time. His

extensive training, along with his humor, compassion and skill as a

teacher, has made it possible for him to transmit his profound

insights to people of widely divergent backgrounds and interests.

Chagdud Rinpoche's generation is the last to have absorbed the full

cultural and spiritual heritage of Tibet and he is among those few who

are bringing this knowledge to the West.
