His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche—mahateacher, archetypal spiritual guide, teacher of Trungpa Rinpoche—was born in 1910 in Eastern Tibet and recognized as a tulku while still in his mother's womb by Mipham Rinpoche. He was later enthroned as an emanation of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, one of the most important tertons and writers of 19th century Tibet.
Following Trungpa Rinpoche's parinirvana, Lady Könchok Paldrön, mother of Sakyong Mipham, requested Khyentse Rinpoche to compose a supplication to Trungpa Rinpoche. Answering her request, His Holiness wrote Light of Blessings, which has been translated by the Nalanda Translation Committee and is available on their website. Here by permission of the NTC, is a link to Khyentse Rinpoche's supplication to Trungpa Rinpoche:
LIGHT OF BLESSINGS
SUPPLICATION TO THE ELEVENTH TRUNGPA CHÖKYI GYATSO.
His Holiness's visits to the West in the 1970s and 80s had a profound effect on the students of Trungpa Rinpoche who naturally formed a heart connection with this great man. I think it's safe to say that for all students of the Vidyadhara, the connection that we feel with Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche is beyond words.
This supplication to CTR is on the Nalanda Translation Committee's Translation Offerings page, which has links to a number of other important liturgies. Thank you to the Nalanda Translation Committee for their permission and for all their extraordinary work.
