Rime Shedrub Ling is a non-sectarian and non-political center of
traditional Tibetan Buddhism, studying the great masters of all
lineages—Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya and Gelug—under the spiritual direction
of Younge Khachab Rinpoche. Our main focus is on Dzogchen meditation
and teachings.
Younge Khachab Rinpoche is considered to be a highly qualified Tantra
and Dzogchen teacher. His training has incorporated the view and
meditations of the four main schools He believes in the transmission
of the uncompromised, pure teachings of the oral and textual lineages.
He represents the Rime philosophical tradition, established in part by
Jamgon Kongtrul, incorporating the best the four schools in Tibetan
Buddhism have to offer.
Younge Khachab Rinpoche is acknowledged as a traditional master of the
Mahamudra and Dzogchen practices. He received all signs of
accomplishment in the Six Yogas of Naropa, particularly Tsa Lung and
Dream Yoga. He is fully able to transmit all stages of the Vajrayana
path. He is known in India and Nepal for his vast knowledge of the
Rime tradition.
Younge Khachab Rinpoche is also Terton, a "terma" revealer (hidden
treasures of precious teaching) and is currently having these texts
translated.
