-===Short biography of Khentrul Lodro Thaye Rinpoche===
-Khentrul Lodrö Thayé Rinpoche spent fifteen years studying at [[Kat'hog Monastery]] in eastern [[Tibet]], [[His Holiness Khenchen Jigme P'huntsok]]'s [[Serthar Buddhist Institute]] in [[Kardze]], [[Tibet]], and [[Penor Rinpoche]]'s monastery [[Namdroling]] in [[India]]. Acknowledged as a scholar of the highest level, he twice received the title of [[khenpo]] (equivalent to a Doctor of Philosophy), making him a [[khenchen]], or double doctorate.
-He received the entire [[Nyingt'hig]] lineage (including [[Nyingt'hig Yabzhi]], [[Dzod Dun]], [[Ngalso Korsum]], [[Yeshe Lama]], and [[Chetzun Nyingt'hig]]), as well as many empowerments, scriptural transmissions, and explanations on the pith instructions for [[Great Perfection]] practice. In addition, Khentrul Rinpoche received the rarely bestowed oral transmission of [[Khenpo Ngakchung]]'s [[Nyingt'hig]] lineage. From [[Jigme P'huntsok Rinpoche]], [[Dodrubchen Rinpoche]], [[Penor Rinpoche]], and [[Katok Moktza Rinpoche]], he received all of the empowerments and scriptural transmissions for the [[Kama]] and [[Terma]] cycles of the [[Nyingma]] school.
-He has taught for many years at monasteries in [[Tibet]] and [[India]] and is the abbot of [[Mardo Tashi Choling]] in eastern [[Tibet]] where he established a retreat center and [[shedra]]. He directs the education and spiritual practice of 300 monks, seventy advanced-degree candidates, sixty children, and twenty retreatants.

-He was invited by [[Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche]] shortly before his death, primarily to teach a [[shedra]] program at [[Rigdzin Ling]], as well as to teach in North America at the Chagdud Gonpa centers and elsewhere. He later also became the personal tutor of [[Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche]]'s grandson, [[Orgyen Tromge]], a speech emanation of His Holiness [[Dudjom Rinpoche]], [[Jigdral Yeshe Dorje]].
-He now travels all over North America giving teachings. His schedule is available at http://orgyanshadrubling.com/id29.htm He is often giving teachings in Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Alaska, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Louisiana, Florida, Texas, Connnecticut, and New Mexico. He gives an annual month-long [[shedra]], or Dharmic educational intensive retreat, at [[Rigdzin Ling]] in Junction City, Northern California, the main center of [[Chagdud Rinpoche]]'s [[Chagdud Gonpa]] centers. He has groups meeting in Ashland, Oregon, and in Lafayette, Louisiana.

-Khentrul Rinpoche is reknowned for his warmth, intelligence, knowledge, kindness, good sense of humor, directness, and the thoroughness and breadth of his teachings. He imparts a practical and comprehensive view and understanding of the teachings he gives.

-Here is what Khentrul Lodro Thaye Rinpoche says for those who wish to make a connection with him:
-"For those who have an interest in making a connection with me, here is a short introduction to the way and order in which I teach [[Dharma]].
-Everyone wants to find ultimate and lasting happiness and to avoid even the slightest amount of suffering.  Therefore, one needs to know the correct methods for achieving ultimate happiness and for eradicating suffering. There is no other method other than the profound path of [[skillful means]] - entering the path of [[Dharma]].
-When just entering the [[Dharma]] path, one should receive teachings that give an overall, foundational introduction to what [[Dharma]] is.  Such teachings include how to practice [[Dharma]] and the beneficial effects brought about through [[Dharma]] practice.  In this way, one is inspired and develops enthusiasm towards the path.
-One should begin engaging in the actual practice of [[Dharma]] by entering the door to the path, or taking [[Refuge]].  Following that, one establishes a firm foundation by receiving in-depth explanations on how to meditate on the preliminary practices of [[Ngondro]].  Particularly, one receives pith instructions on the key points of [[meditation]], including [[The Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind]], [[The Four Immeasurables]], and [[Guru Yoga]] practice.  One should study and thoroughly engage in the [[mind training]] taught in texts such as [[Entering the Way of a Bodhisattva]] ([[Bodhicaryavatara]]) by [[Shantideva]], [[The Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva]] by [[Ngulchu Thogmed]], and teachings on the [[Six Perfections]] among others.
-Following that, one should receive the profound explanations on [[emptiness]], which is the method for realizing that all [[phenomena]] lack any true identity; and [[buddha nature]], the nature of one's [[mind]], the [[timeless awareness]] that is naturally present within. One receives teachings on how to meditate on [[emptiness]] and [[buddha nature]] through the applications of [[calm abiding]] ([[shamatha]]) and [[special insight]] ([[vipashyana]]) [[meditation]].
-In regard to the extremely profound development and [[completion stage]] practices, one begins by receiving empowerments ([[wang]]) and reading transmissions ([[lung]]).  Then, with the proper understanding of [[mantra]] recitation and [[deity]] [[meditation]], one should engage in the practice of [[Mahayoga]].  [[Mahayoga]] is a skillful [[method]] for the development of [[pristine awareness]] ([[yeshe]]) in one's [[mind stream]].  After that, one cultivates the practice of [[Anuyoga]] ([[tsa lung]]) by relying on [[subtle channels]], energy, and [[vital essence]]. This is also a skillful method for developing [[pristine awareness]] in one's [[mind stream]].
-With that basis, one receives [[transmission]] on the most profound practice of the [[Great Perfection]] [[[dzogchen]], [[[atiyoga]]], followed by teachings on some concise explanatory treatises.  The way to receive [[pointing-out instructions]] is on an individual basis. The lineage of [[Great Perfection]] teachings has been passed down from one accomplished [[Vajrayana]] master ([[vidyadhara]], [[rigdzin]]) to the next up until my own root teachers.  From them, I received great blessings and pith instructions on a one-to-one basis in accordance with the lineage of extremely profound [[transmission]].
-In order to understand the essence of [[Great Perfection]] practice, one must have previously developed a firm foundation of study, [[contemplation]], and [[meditation]] in all of the aforementioned practices.  This is the definite order, the sequence of training.  Without that, there is no effective method for developing correct practice.  If one practices successively in this way, there is no need to have any doubts.  The beneficial effects of the path will be experienced first-hand and the results of [[Dharma]] will be swiftly accomplished."
