A renowned [[Dzogchen]] master in his mid-90s, [[Chatral]] Rinpoche is reclusive yogi known for his great realization and strict discipline. Rinpoche is one of the few living disciples of the great master [[Khenpo Ngagchung]] and widely regarded as one of the most highly realized [[Dzogchen]] yogis. In addition to his relationship with [[Khenpo Ngagchung]], Chatral Rinpoche also studied with some of the last century's most renowned masters, including [[Dudjom Rinpoche]], [[Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro]], and the famed [[dakini]], [[Sera Khandro]]. Rinpoche is one of the primary lineage holders of the [[Longchen Nyingthig]], and in particular the lineage that descends through [[Jigme Lingpa]]'s heart son [[Jigme Gyalwe Nyugu]] and then on to [[Patrul Rinpoche]].
Hi Asky,


Though his main lineage is the [[Longchen Nyingthig]], Chatral Rinpoche is also closely associated with the [[Dudjom Tersar]] lineage. He was empowered as the regent of His Holiness [[Dudjom Rinpoche]] and is currently passing on this lineage to this master's reincarnation, who lives primarily in central Tibet.

Chatral Rinpoche has shunned institutional and political involvement his whole life, choosing instead to live the life of a wandering [[yogi]]. To this day, despite his great age, he continues to move about, rarely remaining in one place for more than a few months. A lay [[yogi]], he is also greatly concerned with maintaining strict discipline in the context of the [[Dzogchen]] view. He is especially well known for his advocacy of vegetarianism and his yearly practice of ransoming the lives of thousands of animals in India. In addition to his emphasis on the union of view and conduct, Rinpoche also stresses the practice of retreat. He has established numerous retreat centers throughout the Himalayas, including in Pharping, Yolmo and Darjeeling.
