Anyen Rinpoche
Anyen Rinpoche is a tulku from Amdo, Tibet, and is an esteemed scholar as well as the heart son of
his root Lama, Tsara Dharmakirti Rinpoche. He is the fifth in an unbroken lineage of heart sons who
received their uncommon lineage of the Longchen Nyingthig and introduction to the Dzogchen
teachings directly from the renowned Dzogchen master Patrul Rinpoche.
Anyen Rinpoche's training included more than fourteen years of intensive study combined
with solitary retreat before he obtained the degree of khenpo and
became the head scholar of his root Lama's monastic university in Kham, Tibet.
Anyen Rinpoche was raised from birth by the accomplished Dzogchen yogi Lama Chupur.
In addition to receiving the entirety of his own root Lama's empowerments,
transmissions, and oral instructions, Anyen Rinpoche received the transmissions,
empowerments and instructions on the channels, energies and essences from the eminent
Ngakpa yogi Dorlo Rinpoche. He also studied Lamrim Chenmo, as well as the Gelugpa style
of logic and debate, with Dehor Geshe.
Now living outside of Tibet, Anyen Rinpoche follows in the footsteps of his own root
Lama to pass on the wisdom of his lineage, and specifically the teachings on the union of
Dzogchen and Bodhichitta. Anyen Rinpoche is known for his profound understanding of the
scriptures as well as his easy-to-understand interpretation of them. He has taught extensively
in Tibet and China and now mentors students throughout Southeast Asia, Japan and North America.
