Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche is the grandson and spiritual heir of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. He was born in 1967 and raised by his renowed grandfather. Since Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche’s passing in 1991, Rabjam Rinpoche’s primary responsibilty has been to carry on the teachings and transmission of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and to fulfill his aspirations. One important aspect of this role has been to oversee the education and upbringing of Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche. For further information about Rabjam Rinpoche, visit Shechen.org
