Kyabg\u00f6n Phakchok Rinpoche was born in 1981 and is a lineage holder of the Profound Treasures of Chokgyur Lingpa from the Nyingma School of Early Translations and one of the throne-holders of the Riwoche Taklung Kagyu Lineage. Phakchok Rinpoche\u2019s primary root gurus are his grandfather, the late Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, and late Kyabje Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche.<\/p>\n

Phakchok Rinpoche has received a traditional education from the Dzongsar Shedra in India, the complete Chokling New Treasures lineage from Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and Kyabje Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche, and the Great Perfection lineage from Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche. Rinpoche\u2019s teaching style is direct, addressing the needs of those present; traditional, not compromising the methods of practice and transmission in the slightest; and, accessible, teaching the profound meaning in a way that is able to be understood and glimpsed by people of diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n

As a yogi practitioner with a family and the responsibility of monastic institutions, Rinpoche is deeply familiar with both ways of life and practice. Rinpoche\u2019s life defines what it means to be a dharma practitioner in today\u2019s world by emphasising that a practitioner should find a balance in their life. There should be a base of\u00a0study and contemplation<\/em>\u00a0in order to understand the profound views of the Buddhas teachings, and\u00a0practice\u00a0<\/em>should be emphasized in a way that genuinely reduces ego clinging and negative emotions through a range of methods and practices.\u00a0Altruistic activity<\/em>\u00a0should address the needs of those in one\u2019s community and beyond as an expression of the compassion and wisdom cultivated in practice. These are some of the main principles that Rinpoche practices and teaches to his own students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
