Khangmar Rinchen
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.

Khangmar Rinchen (Wyl. khang dmar rin chen) or Khangmarwa Rinchen Dorje was the sixth khenpo of Dzongsar Shedra, from 1940-1943. Although originally from the Nyingma monastery of Khangmar in the eastern part of Derge, he was closely associated with Dzongsar Monastery. His teachers included Öntö Khyenrab Chökyi Özer, Drayab Lodrö, Kathok Situ Chökyi Gyatso and Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö. For a large part of his life he stayed in retreat.
Writing
- He composed a commentary on the quotations found in Sakya Pandita's Treasury of Valid Reasoning, but it has not survived.
