Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche was a peerless master of the Dzogchen lineage and a primary teacher to many of today’s greatest lamas, including His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. Known for his vast scholarship and profound realization, he spent over twenty years of his life in silent retreat, later becoming a prolific author and tireless teacher who traveled across the globe to preserve the Dharma. His life and work epitomized the Rime, or non-sectarian, movement, making his image a universal source of inspiration for practitioners across all schools of Tibetan Buddhism who seek to embody the virtues of patience and realization.
