We are very honored to introduce this special Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist teaching VAJRA SPEECH OF THE ESSENCE OF THE ULTIMATE, in four parts given by His Eminence Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen Rinpoche on November 3. and 4. 2018. at Drikung Kyobpa Choling, Tibetan Meditation Center in Escondido, California
Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen Rinpoche was born in the spring of 1946 in Tsari, Tibet and spent his early years there. In 1959, the family fled to India and settled in Darjeeling, where he began his education. Later in October 1967, Khenchen Rinpoche was one of the first students at the new Buddhist University – Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies in Varanasi, India. In early 1968, he had the good fortune to take full monastic ordination from the great Kalu Rinpoche and, shortly after graduating from the Institute, he received teachings from the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa on The Eight Treasures of Mahamudra Songs, by the Indian mahasiddhas.
Rinpoche sought out and received teachings and instructions from the Venerable Khunu Lama Rinpoche, with whom Rinpoche studied two works of Gampopa – The Jewel Ornament of Liberation and The Precious Garland of the Excellent Path. Rinpoche’s studies with the Venerable Khunu Lama also included Mahamudra and many of the songs of Milarepa.
Rinpoche began a three-year retreat in 1978 under the guidance of the enlightened master Khyunga Rinpoche. During this time, he was able to deepen and enhance his understanding of The Five-fold Path of Mahamudra and the profound Gong Chik text of Lord Jigten Sumgön. He also received many other transmissions. In 1985, Rinpoche traveled to the main seat of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, Drikung Thil, in Tibet. There, he was able to receive personal blessings, as well as instructions and transmissions of Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa, from the enlightened master Venerable Pachung Rinpoche.
In 1982, Khenchen Rinpoche came to the USA and founded the Tibetan Meditation Center in Washington, DC. Rinpoche consistently strives to make important texts available to the public and to provide his students with thorough and systematic training in the Dharma.
Rinpoche was enthroned as Khenchen in 2001 by H.H. Chetsang Rinpoche in Jang Chub Ling Monastery in India. The term khenpo, or khenmo (in the feminine) is a degree for higher Buddhist studies given in Tibetan Buddhism; and Khenchen is a title given to khenpos who show great quality in the way they keep their vows, in their learnedness, and the breadth of their activities for the Dharma. This is a very special distinction not easily given.
Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen Rinpoche’s VAJRA SPEECH OF THE ESSENCE OF THE ULTIMATE contains and explains the most profound wisdom of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist tradition.
