Thinley Norbu Rinpoche
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, a major modern teacher in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism is the eldest son of H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche , former head of the Nyingma lineages. He is considered to be an emanation of Longchen Rabjam, the great Nyingma Scholar and siddha. He is a pre-eminent teacher of the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and he is patron of the Vajrayana Foundation. He currently divides his time between the United States and Nepal.
