Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche was among Tibetan Buddhism’s greatest masters of the 20th century. In 1980, when Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche first came to the West, he was among the first Tibetan masters to teach the most essential instructions of Dzogchen beyond Tibet. From that time until his death, he gave these vital oral instructions to thousands of Buddhist students from the world over. His writings provide a glimpse into the influences and experiences that shaped the man whose simplicity and humility attracted an immense cross-section of humanity.
