CHÖGYAL NAMKHAL NORBU RINPOCHE

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche is a master of Dzogchen, one of the great spiritual traditions of Tibet.
He was born in Degé, eastern Tibet, in 1938, and was recognised as the reincarnation of Adzam Drugpa, a great Dzogchen master of the last century. He received the full education of a Tulku, or reincarnate Lama, before coming to the west at the invitation of professor G. Tucci, who invited him to rome to assist with his research at the Oriental Institute there.

He later became professor of Tibetan and Mongolian studies at the Oriental Institute of the University of Naples.
In response to many requests that he give spiritual teachings, he has traveled all over the world, and has founded the "Dzogchen Community", an association of his students whose aim is to practise and preserve the Dzogchen teachings.
