    Legendary Tibetan Yogi
    The great Tibetan yogi and scholar Kyabje Khetsun Sangpo Rinpoche is a  world renowned master of Tibetan Buddhism. He has been trained through  the time of 13th Dalai Lama and is presently a senior adviser to the  14th Dalai Lama. He is the second oldest lama alive today and has  taught Tibetan Buddhism around the world for the last sixty years. Many  lamas active today in the Tibetan community and in the west have been  trained by him, including many prominent western scholars and  practitioners. As one of the most prolific scholars alive today,  Rinpoche has composed over twenty volumes of texts. Tantric Practice in  Nying-ma, a commentary on the instructions of the foundation practice  for the Great Perfection, was published in several languages and has  become the essential guide for thousands of people in the west.  Rinpoche's newly released book, Fundamental Mind: The Nyingma View of  the Great Completeness, is likely to be an instant classic. Invited by  Nyernga
 Ngakde Buddhist Center and his closest disciple, Lopon Ugyen  Rinpoche, the following events will provide a once-in-a-lifetime  opportunity for anyone interested in learning and experiencing more  about spirituality and Buddhism, and to receive profound blessings from  one of the most senior Buddhist masters of our time.
