Dilgo Khyentse Tashi Peljor
Dilgo Khyentse Tashi Peljor (T. dil mgo mkhyen brtse bkra shis dpal 'byor) (1910 – 1991) was one of the most prominent Nyingma lamas of the twentieth century, widely known also in the West. The mind reincarnation of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, his seat was Shechen Monastery, which he reestablished in Boudhanath, Nepal, in 1980. After fleeing the Communist takeover of Tibet, Dilgo Khyentse settled in Bhutan. A prolific author and treasure-revealer (terton), his compositions are collected in twenty-five volumes. Although he received novice vows at age ten, he never fully ordained, living the life of a householder with wife and children.[1]
He was the head of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism from 1988 to 1991. He was also an eminent proponent of the Rime tradition.
