presents a genuine tradition of Buddhist study,
meditation, and compassionate activity. In addition,

the premier program for the rigorous study of the
essential logical and practical traditions of the
Nyingma and Kagyu lineages.

Teachers 
Rinpoche
has no fixed abode, few possessions; and he has practiced
for years in solitude, sometimes sealed in darkness. Like
Milarepa, he is known for his spontaneous songs of realization
(Skt. "dohas") that offer insight into genuine
reality. Such songs may emerge to answer a question,
clarify a difficult point, or to expand or comment on one
of Milarepa's own songs.
