The eldest son of the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche , who was instrumental in bringing Buddhism to the West, he is the incarnation of Mipham the Great , who is revered in Tibet as an emanation of Manjushri, the buddha of wisdom. He descends from the Tibetan warrior-king Gesar of Ling. He also holds the Kagyü and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism

 

 

Mangala Shri Bhuti

On occasion there are people we meet in life who have an immediate effect on us. What strikes us is the strength of their un-self-centered presence, their confidence, the wisdom in their eyes or the warmth they radiate. Encountering such people awakens our intelligence, curiosity and longing, perhaps inspiring us to look deeper into the meaning of our ordinary lives. Dzigar Kongtrül Rinpoche is one of these people.
