Light of Fearless Indestructible Wisdom

Abstract

eloved master, visionary, poet, revealer of profound spiritual treasures, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche was a paramount figure in the history of twentieth-century Tibet. He worked closely with H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama to reinvigorate Tibetan culture and spiritual practice following the loss of their homeland. Nyingma masters and devotees, both ordained and lay, unanimously appointed him Supreme Head of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism, and he served in this capacity until his passing in 1987. He wrote over two dozen volumes of poetry, music, history, philosophy, and most importantly, revealed and restored sacred termas of Guru Rinpoche. In addition, he assembled and published texts which might otherwise have been lost, and delivered unprecedented numbers of empowerments and teachings to hundreds of thousands of individuals. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche is a holder of the kama, terma, and Dzogchen teachings of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism.
