Chögyal Nomkhai Norbu Rimpoche is a master of Dzogchen, one of the great spiritual traditions of Tibet.
He was born in eastern Tibet, in Dege, in 1938, and is recognised as the incarnation 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.

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

This digital recording was made in the intimate settings of his small personal retreat cabin which is hidden away among overhanging trees below a great rock precipice. On the cliff above the retreat cabin is located the "gompa", or practice hall of Meringar, the base of the "Dzogchen Community" in Tuscany, Italy.
It is a rare privilege to be able to participate in the practice of a great Tibetan spiritual master, and the intimate quality of this recording gives the listener the feeling of actually being present with him in his retreat.
