Name of teacher (name in wylie)

Short Biography[edit]

The 6th Khamtrul Rinpoche was born in 1848 in the Nangchen region of Tibet. At an early age he was recognized as the 6th Khamtrul Rinpoche by Choegon Rinpoche Thuchen Choekyi Nyinjed. He received many teachings from Choegon Rinpoche while he was at Khampargar Monastery and also from His Holiness the Ninth Gyalwang Drukpa Jigmed Migyur Wanggi Gyalpo. He received teachings from teachers of the other schools as well, such as Mindrolling Tri Yeahe Wangyal, Jamyang Lhyentse Wangpo and Jamgon Kongtrul Lodroe Thaye.

Tenpe Nyima spent most of his time in retreat and when not in retreat he travelled extensively giving teachings in Eastern Tibet and China. Among his students were the kings of Derge, Nangchen, Khatok and Ling. He passed away at the age of 59, leaving behind an intact treasury of teachings in care of his numerous students. It is because of his efforts that all of the hundreds of volumes of the Drukpa Lineage are available today. The Togden Shakya Shri was one of his Lineage holders.

-Skilful Means ([[thabs]])
+'''Name of teacher''' ([[name in wylie]])
-*According to the Greater Vehicle, learning in skilful means (Skt. [[upāyakauśalya, Tib. thabs la mkhas pa]]) refers to the first five perfections which are cultivated by bodhisattvas, viz: generosity, discipline, patience, perseverence, and meditative concentration, when integrated with discriminative awareness, the sixth perfection, to form a union of discriminative awareness and means (Skt. [[prajñopāya]]). The perfection of skilful means is also separately enumerated among the ten perfections, where it indicates the inestimable result acquired by dedicating the merit of one's virtuous deeds, however small, for the benefit of all sentient beings in general and for the sake of great unsurpassed enlightenment in particular. See Paul Williams, Mahāyāna Buddhism, pp. 51, 143-50. In the tantras, the tecnhnical term "path of skilful means" ([[thabs lam]]) refers to the sexual practices ([[sbyor ba]]) in which the internal yoga of the energy channels, vital energies and seminal points are refined within the subtle body. Also, the three inner classes of tantra according to the rNying-ma school are sometimes referred to as the 'vehicles of overpowering means' ([[thabs dbang 'bsgyur ba'i theg pa rnams]]), in the sense that they carry on the path all the delusions which are renounced in lower paths.
