Do Khyentsé Yeshé Dorjé
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Do Khyentse Yeshe Dorje (Tib. མདོ་མཁྱེན་བརྩེ་ཡེ་ཤེས་རྡོ་རྗེ་, Wyl. mdo mkhyen brtse ye shes rdo rje) (1800-1866[1]) — the mind emanation of Jikmé Lingpa.[2] He was said to be the son of the protector Nyenchen Tanglha. His main teacher was the First Dodrupchen, Jikmé Trinlé Özer. His life featured many miraculous events, especially during his childhood, and in later life he lived as a hunter, like some of the mahasiddhas of ancient India. He famously introduced Patrul Rinpoche to the nature of mind while beating him and dragging him by the hair.

Footnotes
- ↑ His anniversary is celebrated on the 20th day of the 2nd month of the Tibetan lunar calendar.
- ↑ According to Masters of Meditation and Miracles (pages 179 & 338), he was the mind incarnation, and the source for this is the biography of Patrul Rinpoche composed by Khenpo Kunpal. In that biography, Khenpo Kunpal does indeed say that Do Khyentse was the mind incarnation, Patrul Rinpoche the speech incarnation, and Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo the body incarnation. On page 133 of Masters of Meditation & Miracles, Tulku Thondup says that Do Khyentse was the body incarnation, and Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo was the mind incarnation, but since the same reference to Khenpo Kunpal is given this appears to be a mistake.
