===Short Biography===
Head lama of Nangchen [[Tsechu Gompa]]. A major living master of the [[Drukpa Kagyu]] and [[Nyingma]] lineages. Resides currently at Nangchen [[Tsechu Gompa]] in [[Kham]].
[[Image:Adeu_Rinpoche.jpg|frame|right|300px|Adeu Rinpoche in Beijing]]'The current Eighth Adeu Rinpoche was born on the 4th day of the Tibetan 12th month in the fifteen cycle of Iron Horse year, in the middle of a freezing winter.  As the [[16th Karmapa]] and the Eighth [[Choegon Rinpoche]] recognized the child as the authentic reincarnation of the Seventh Adeu Rinpoche, he was taken to [[Tsechu Gompa]] for enthronement at the age of seven. Right after this, he began his traditional education in writing, calligraphy, poetry, astrology, [[mandala]] painting, spiritual practice and text recitation. At the same time, the young Adeu Rinpoche also received many teachings, Tantra and oral pith-instructions based on the old and new traditions but primarily on the [[Drukpa]] lineage from the Eighth Choegon Rinpoche, [[Jamyang Khyentse]] Rinpoche and many other great masters. Right after this, Rinpoche entered into a seven-year retreat, when he carried out many spiritual practices based on different deities and on the skilful trainings of the [[prana]] and [[bindu]], such as the [[Six Yogas of Naropa]] and the liberating [[Mahamudra]] mind-training practices. He was also learning philosophy. Adeu Rinpoche later wrote a precise commentary on the three groups of precepts, the root of heart-essence of [[Nyingma]]pa lineage, and on the various [[mandala]] deities.


In 1958, all the sacred texts, statues and precious objects were completely destroyed, and Rinpoche was imprisoned for fifteen years. Although Adeu Rinpoche suffered a great deal, the period in prison gave him an opportunity to meet many accomplished masters who were also trapped in the prison. Through these masters, he received instructions on [[Dzogchen]] (the Great Perfection), and under their guidance, he practiced rare and precious listening lineage (Nyengyud) of the [[Nyingma]]pa school, and studied the various [[Nyingma]]pa [[terma]] teachings.

Adeu Rinpoche is an extremely important master of the [[Drukpa]] lineage, especially after the Cultural Revolution, when many great [[Drukpa]] lineage masters had passed away. In the present time whereby teachings of the [[Drukpa]] lineage have gone almost into extinction, Adeu Rinpoche is the only remaining lineage holder of the Khampa tradition of the Drukpa lineage.
 
At the end of 1980, Adeu Rinpoche went to [[Tashi Jong]] in India to pass on the entire lineage of the [[Khampa Drukpa]] tradition to the present [[Khamtrul Rinpoche]] Shedrub Nyima, [[Choegon Rinpoche]] Chokyi Sengye and many other great reincarnate masters of the Drukpa lineage.
 
In the beginning of 1990, Adeu Rinpoche also gave a complete initiation of the Drukpa lineage to the local reincarnate masters in [[Nangchen]]. About 51 reincarnate tulkus and 1,600 monks and nuns were present to receive the initiation and oral transmission. In this way, Adeu Rinpoche became the main lineage master of the [[Khampa Drukpa]] tradition for all the Drukpa tulkus. Thereafter, Adeu Rinpoche went to [[Bhutan]] and exchanged initiations with [[Je Khenpo]], Jigme Chodrak Rinpoche, [[Dilgo Khyentse]] Rinpoche and many other enlightened masters, thus becoming a representative of the Drukpa lineage.
 
At present, Adeu Rinpoche has undertaken the responsibility to restore [[Tsechu Gompa]], and at the same time to collect, correct and edit all the Drukpa teachings, Tantras and practices. Once this colossal project is completed, Adeu Rinpoche will print these in the traditional format and distribute them to all the Drukpa monasteries, for the benefit of the current and future practitioners and to prevent the loss of the teachings of the glorious Drukpa lineage.
