Yuandan Trinley Dorje Rinpoche
Yuandan Trinley Dorje Rinpoche uses the name "ATIKOPA, the Great Perfection of Abiding" to proclaim his personal vow to compassionately liberate all beings. He also uses this point to explain the Buddha's teachings in Western countries.
Like other venerable masters who teach Tibetan Buddhism in Western countries, Yuandan Trinley Dorje Rinpoche has also dedicated himself to teaching Tibetan Buddhism and the non-religious "Great Tibetan Meditation Health Secret Method" in modern Western society.
Yuandan Trinley Dorje Rinpoche is dedicated to bringing greater benefits to lives in different parts of the world, and has established meditation centers in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Central and South America. Currently, many people around the world follow him in practicing the traditional and ancient Tibetan Buddhist teachings and the "Great Tibetan Meditation Health Tantra," and many have experienced profound and sublime realizations during their practice.
Yuandan Trinley Dorje Rinpoche was born in Hebei Province, China, and began practicing the Avalokiteshvara Dharma at the age of three. He successively took refuge with numerous practitioners of the Nyingma, Gelug, Sakya, and Chan schools, including more than ten great masters such as Qingding Rinpoche, Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche, Tashi Rinpoche, Haizheng Rinpoche, Haicheng Rinpoche, and Shanghui Xiaxin Rinpoche. He also took refuge with Panjor Dorje, the direct lineage holder of the Sakya school. Under the careful instruction of these masters, he learned complex tantric practices and mantras, received the true essence of the Tibetan Chan and Tantric teachings, and became a holder of the lineage.
Since 1993, Rinpoche has dedicated himself to the propagation of Tibetan Buddhism. His unique and exquisite teachings not only concretely demonstrate the essence of Tibetan Buddhism but also spiritually satisfy the needs of modern people and bring benefits to practitioners in real life.
To meet the needs of modern men and women seeking physical, mental, and spiritual health and spiritual practice, Yuandan Trinley Dorje Rinpoche designed a series of complete and direct practical courses, allowing practitioners to follow them in their practice and, through the process of realization, attain the perfect state of compassion and wisdom.
