Chatral Rinpoche

The name or rather the title Chatral/Chadrel Rinpoche is one you could say of respect or recognition, and has been given many time to a great many different Lamas from all the major and minor lineages of Tibet. It's meaning is quite literally "Precious Hermit" or "Precious Ascetic", and as such is given as a sort of honorific nick-name, to those masters whom spend all their time in retreating in mountain hermitages.
