Beru Khyentse Rinpoche
The 2nd Beru Khyentse was born in central Tibet in 1947 and, as a young monk, was recognized and enthroned by the 16th Karmapa. At the age of thirteen he led his monks and lay devotees from his monastery in Nangchen, out of Tibet, and established a community including monastery and retreat centre for them in Mainpat, India.
Rinpoche completed extensive studies in Buddhist philosophy and training in Vajrayana rituals, receiving instruction from many Lamas including Dzongsar Khenpo Chimey Rinpoche, Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche, the 16th Gyalway Karmapa, Khunu Rinpoche, His Holiness Sakya Trizin and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. After completing the traditional four-year retreat in the Karma Kamtsang tradition, Rinpoche established monasteries in Bodh Gaya and Kathmandu and the Nangchen monastery, nunnery, institute and three-year retreat centre in Tibet.
Rinpoche rebuilt the Sakya monastery, Nyenthang Tashigang, near his birthplace in Tibet and founded the Tharjay Charitable Foundation to sponsor bridges, schools, clinics and medical treatment for the nomads of eastern Tibet.
The past three decades Beru Khyentse Rinpoche has been teaching and travelling tirelessly around the world, presenting the Dharma in the spirit of non-sectarianism and in a manner suitable for all students from beginners to the most advanced practitioners.
The Khyentse Lineage
The 1st Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, 1820-1892, was one of the most important illuminators of Buddhism in Tibet. This great treasure revealer was born in east Tibet as an emanation of Manjushri and in previous lives had incarnated as many masters including the Indian Pandita Vimalamitra, the Tibetan King Trisondeutsen, Jetsun Drakpa Gyaltsen founder of the Sakyapa school, Gampopa, Longchenpa and Jigme Lingpa. With his unsurpassable learning and realisation gained through study, practice and visions Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo was not confined to sect or school and propagated the Dharma impartially to all.
At the end of his life Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo’s mind was absorbed into the wisdom mind of Vimalamitra, from which five emanations of body, speech, mind, qualities and activities emanated simultaneously. Thus the speech emanation became the 1st Beru Khyentse, son of the King of Beru in east Tibet, the mind emanation Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and the activity emanation Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro of Dzongsar.
