Khenchen Rigsal Dorje
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.

Khenchen Rigsal Dorje was one of the great Dzogchen masters of Eastern Tibet in recent times.
His root teacher was Khenpo Thubga Yishyin Norbu, who was also the root teacher of HH Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche. After spending several years with Khenpo Thubga Yishyin Norbu, he returned to Ju Mohor.
There he remained, practicing meditation and teaching for the rest of his life. He was renowned for his teaching on Gyu Sangwa Nyingpo (Guhyagarbha Tantra) - the inner tantra category of the Mahayoga cycle of the Nyingma tradition.
Khenchen Rigsal Dorje died in 1995. His death was marked by a series of remarkable events. The culmination of which was after his cremation, when two statues were all that remained in his ashes, one of Vajrakilaya and the other of Vajradhara. These are now situated in Khenchen Rigsal Dorje's old room at Ju Mohor.
