Biography
Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche was born in 1932 in the Derge region of Kham, Tibet.[3] At the age of five, Rinpoche was taken to a Sakya monastery where he had his hair cut and was given a refuge name.[4] At age eight, he was enrolled in the monastery and began his Buddhist studies.[4] At age eighteen, he studied Longchen Nyingthig teachings[5] and Dzogchen[2] at the Nyoshul monastery.[1] At the time of 1959 Tibetan uprising, when he was twenty-seven, under fire from the Chinese, he fled to India with 70 people, but only 5 arrived.[1][6]
In India, Rinpoche studied under the second Dudjom Rinpoche (Jigdral Yeshe Dorje),[6] Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche,[6] and the sixteenth Karmapa (Rangjung Rigpe Dorje).[1]
