About Kyabje Chime Rinpoche

Kyabje Chime Rinpoche was recognised by HH16th Karmapa as Radha Tulku, one of the four tulkus of Benchen Monastery in Tibet. Rinpoche's teachers were HH16th Karmapa, his two uncles HH Dilgo Kyentse Rinpoche and 9th Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche and Khenpo Gangshar Wangpo of Shechen Monastery. Chime Rinpoche founded Marpa House (then Kham House) in 1973, after being one of the first Tibetan Lamas to come to the West, arriving in Oxford in 1963 with Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Akong Rinpoche.

Rinpoche brilliantly combines Mahamudra and Dzogchen instructions and teaches in an incredibly engaging, accessible way, relating with warmth and humour to students in the West. His deep compassion, vast loving kindness and timeless wisdom are profoundly moving for everyone who meets him. Rinpoche is one of the last remaining direct disciples of Khenpo Gangshar as well as being one of the last tulkus to have been traditionally educated in Tibet.

Khenpo Gangshar Wangpo was a brilliant, highly realised Khenpo from Tibet, and Chime Rinpoche's root guru, as well as one of the primary teachers of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and the 9th Thrangu Rinpoche. Khenpo Gangshar was a student of the great Jamgon Kongtrul of Shechen Monastery and is famous for his unconventional approach to giving 'pointing-out' instructions directly to everyone he met, with tremendous efficacy.
