    The Most Venerable Sangpo Rinpoche
The Most Venerable Sangpo Rinpoche has
from childhood felt a special connection with Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara, the
Buddha of compassion) and Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava). As a young boy, he was
recognized by HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche as the 5th reincarnation of Gonzi
Rinpoche. From the age of seven, he started studying
a wide range of Buddhist treatises. He then entered The Dzogchen Five Knowledge
Buddhist Institute to receive the supreme lineage of Nyingma teachings and
traditions under the supervision of many accomplished and renowned masters such
as his root master HH Dzogchen Padma Kalsang Rinpoche, Padma Tsewan Rinpoche
and Khenpo Dhazer. With his outstanding performance, he
obtained the honorable khenpo degree (equivalent to doctorate degree in
Buddhist philosophy) in the short time of eight years, completing his studies
with four years in retreat. He continued to teach as a professor at
The Dzogchen Five Knowledge Buddhist Institute before being invited to teach at
the famous Samye Monastery. The Samye Monastery was constructed by King Trisong
Detsen and Guru Rinpoche in the 8th century and was Tibet’s first and oldest
Buddhist monastery. Rinpoche was only 23 years old at that time. He taught as a
vajra master at Samye Monastery for three years. Today, Rinpoche is a compassionate and
accomplished Dzogchen master. He has established centers in Taiwan and Malaysia
and has been invited to teach regularly in several countries, including
Singapore, Japan, Nepal, Germany, UK, Denmark, Spain, Sweden and Norway.
Rinpoche has tirelessly put his effort towards benefiting people all over the
world. He is currently engaged in building a
Buddhist college, and has a genuine wish that children shall get an
opportunity for good education. The project was started in September 2004 and
is ongoing.
