Dzogchen Ponlop Namkha Osel
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.

Short biography
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche Namkha Osel (? – 1726) was the first in the incarnation line known as the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoches, one of two abbots of Dzogchen Monastery in Eastern Tibet. This renowned lama received teachings from both Nyingma and Kagyu teachers before meeting his root guru, the first Dzogchen Rinpoche, Padma Rigdzin. Namkha Ösel was known especially for his mastery of the Khandro Nyingthig teachings, Heart Essence of the Dakinis. He is said to have given yearly teachings on this topic at the retreat center of Dzogchen Monastery, The Sanctuary of the Great Secret Definitive Meaning (gsang chen nges don gling). CJD
