"Key-Points of the Three Vehicles in the Context of Mahamudra, Dzogchen and Madhyamaka" instructed by Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche

Introduction of Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche

The venerable Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche is a famous contemporary Tibetan Buddhist master and a great meditation master. Born in Tibet in 1951, he is the eldest son of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche who was the most outstanding Dzogchen mahasiddha of Tibetan Buddhism in the 20th century therefore was praised as the "master of all masters." Eighteen months after being born, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche was recognized by the 16th Karmapa as the reincarnation of a Kagyu mahasiddha- master Gar Drubchen who was the incarnation of the ancient Indian Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna.

Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche had been following and learning from the great masters including the 16th Karmapa, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Dudjom Rinpoche, and his father Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche since his young age. In 1976, the 25-year-old Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche was appointed by the 16th Karmapa as the abbot of the Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling monastery in Kathmandu at Nepal. In 1980, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche and his father, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, began a journey to spread dharma teaching globally. They traveled throughout Europe, America and Southeast Asian countries, gave teachings and empowerments to over thousands people.

In 1981, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche founded the Rangjung Yeshe Institute, an advanced education institution for international students who wish to study and practice Dharma. Co-operated with Kathmandu University, the institute offers bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees which are internationally accepted. Over the years, the institute has trained a large number of professional Buddhist translators. Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche also founded Rangjung Yeshe Publications. So far, it has published several hundred works of contemporary Tibetan Buddhist masters, especially those about Mahamudra and Dzogchen.

In the past 40 years, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche has been managing Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling monastery, Nagi Gompa and Pharping’s Asura cave retreat center in Nepal. Meanwhile, he has visited the United States, Germany-Austria, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, Scotland, Ukraine, Israel, Mexico, Malaysia, Canada, and other countries to set up meditation retreat centers and Buddhist centers.

Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche devotes his life to promote and preserve the Dharma. In his unique concise, clear and humorous way, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche teaches the essence of Dharma and activates the primordial nature of sentient beings. Today, he is still tirelessly traveling around the world, presiding Buddhist lectures, retreats, and meditations for the awakening of all sentient beings.
