Chödrak Tenphel Rinpoche
Khenpo Chödrak Tenphel Rinpoche was born in Eastern Tibet
(Kham) in 1950. He started his Buddhist studies at 9 at the
Rumtek monastery in Sikkim, India, under the guidance of H.H
the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa Ranjung Rigpe Dorje. At 26, after
concluding a 12-year study cycle in Buddhist philosophy and
epistemology as well as linguistics and dialectics, he was
awarded the title of Khenpo
(great scholar of the kagyu lineage) by the 16th Karmapa.
From 26 to 31, he studied the Buddhist tantras. He then directed
the Nalanda Institute for Higher Tibetan Studies at the Rumtek
Monastery and the KIBI (Karmapa International Buddhist Institute)
in Delhi for several years. He is currently one of the main
teachers of H.H. the 17th Gyalwa
Karmapa.

Buddhist Treasuries of Knowledge
Khenpo Chödrak Tenphel Rinpoche
The Mahayanottaratantra
Shastra (Gyu Lama in Tibetan) is one of the five treatises
composed by Asanga under the influence of the Buddha Maitreya. It
is made up of
five parts which expound seven main topics, the seven Vajra Foundations
: the
buddha, dharma, sangha, buddha nature, enlightenment, enlightened
qualities and
activities. The Gyu Lama is regarded as the treatise that
links the Sutrayana with
the Tantrayana, and has therefore a central role in the curriculum
of the Kagyü
lineage.
For the sixth year, Khenpo Chödrag will base his explanation
on the commentary
composed by Gö Lotsawa Shonu Pal. We will end this year the
teachings of the fifth Vajra Foundation, Enlightenment.
