| ===Short bio of teacher===
| |
| Born in Amdo, Tibet, in 1941 and recognised at the age of two as the 9th incarnation of [[Chime Youngdong of Benchen]] monastery, Lama Chime Rinpoche completed the 3 year 3 month 3 week solitary retreat of the Kagyüdpa Karmapa lineage before he fled Tibet due to the Chinese oppression in 1959. Since 1965, he has resided in the UK, ceaselessly teaching the Dharma and bestowing spiritual instruction.

| Chime Rinpoche was born in Eastern Tibet. He was raised in [[Benchen Monastery]], being one of the four abbots or khenpos of the monastery. Rinpoche studied and meditated until 16 years of age when he entered the traditional 3 year 3 month retreat. Six months after completing the retreat he fled Tibet from the invading Chinese forces. In 1965 Rinpoche went to the UK where he attracted many students. He has since then established Centres in the UK and the Continent. Rinpoche's teachings combine a profound knowledge of Buddhist philosophy and insight, with the understanding of the western way of life. Rinpoche travels the world extensively, conducting courses and retreats.

| | |
| To set a few historical facts right (without wanting to detract from Lama Chime's accomplishments as a teacher!): Lama Chime Rinpoche is NOT an incarnation and never had this status with the lamas of [[Benchen]] monastery. There are three incarnated masters who are the lamas of [[Benchen]] monastery: [[Sangye Nyenpa]] Rinpoche, [[Tenga Rinpoche]] and [[Chime Rinpoche]].<br>
| |
| | |
| The one known as Lama Chime Rinpoche, who lives in London/England, is actually and correctly called "Rarda Chime" and is the descendant of the family of "Rardha Pontsong", who originally donated the land on which [[Benchen]] monastery was built to the [[4th Sangye Nyenpa]].<br> | |
| | |
| His lineage is a hereditary "father to son" lineage, not an incarnation lineage. Neither has he ever been an abbot of [[Benchen]] monastery. The master known as Chime Rinpoche in Tibet, passed away in 1987 and has been reborn since. He presently stays in [[Benchen]] monastery in Tibet and undergoes education. [[TSD]]<br>

| *[[Marpa House]] was established in 1973 by Lama Chime Rinpoche as a Buddhist centre, and it now is run by the Dharma Trust.
