-'''Mipham Rinpoche''', Jamgön Ju Mipham Namgyal (Tib: 'jam mgon 'ju mi pham rnam rgyal, mi pham rgya mtsho) 1846-1912
+#redirect [[Mipham]]
-[[Mipham|Ju Mipham]] ranks alongside [[Longchen Rabjam]] and [[Tsongkhapa]] as one of Tibet's most prolific and influential masters. His presentation of the [[Nyingma]] School's unique approach to the view and practice of Buddhism, and in particular the relationship between [[Madhyamaka]] and the [[Great Perfection]], has had an enormous impact on the past few generations of Tibetan Buddhist scholars and practitioners. Namdrolling Monastic College, currently the largest functioning [[Nyingma]] educational institution, includes twenty of his texts in its curriculum. By comparison, only five texts by Longchenpa are included and only one by [[Rongzom Mahapandita]].
-[[Mipham]]'s primary teachers were [[Patrul Rinpoche]] and [[Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo]], both incarnations of the tertön [[Jigme Lingpa]]. Khyentsé Rinpoche requested [[Mipham]] to preserve the [[Nyingma]] teachings through teaching, debate, and composition—a task in which he admirably succeeded. About his remarkable student, Khyentsé remarked: “In this time, there is no one else on earth more learned than lama [[Mipham]].”
-He excelled not only in study and teaching, however, but in practice as well. The numerous retreats he completed were always accompanied by miraculous signs of accomplishment.
-[[Mipham|Mipham Rinpoche]]’s collected writings comprise twenty-seven volumes and cover a vast array of topics. Among his most influential writings are The [[Speech of Delight]]—a commentary on [[Shantarakshita]]'s [[Ornament of the Middle Way]], [[Gateway to Knowledge]]—which provides an overview of the Buddha’s teachings, and [[Beacon of Certainty]]—an elucidation of the view of the Great Perfection and its relationship to the Middle Way teachings.
-[[Mipham|Mipham Rinpoche]] was also instrumental in training some of last century’s most important [[Nyingma]] teachers. His most prominent students include Khenpo Künpal, Katok Situ, Sechen Rabjam, Khenpo Pema Dorjé, and the tertön Lerab Lingpa.
