Great Mahasiddha and Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö's root Guru
Lama Lobsang Trinley
Lama Ngawang Lobsang Trinley, also known affectionately as Lama Lutrin or Kyabje Lama, was a highly realized Tibetan master born in 1917 in Mimdi village, nestled within the Zuka Valley of the Kham region in southeastern Tibet.
His family line was known as Achak Dri, and he was the beloved son of Kalsang Kyap and Yakshieza Tashikyi. From the very beginning, signs of his extraordinary nature were evident. The day after his birth, the great Zamngu Lama proclaimed with astonishment, “Longroma’s family has just had a child; this child is an extraordinary and highly realised being.” (‘Longroma’ was a nickname for his father, meaning “Short-Tempered.”)
Khentrul Rinpoche’s Teachers
In Gratitude for All of Rinpoche’s Teachers The kindness of those who guide us to liberation is beyond measure. They teach the words of the Dharma, reveal their meaning, and lead us—step by step—toward direct recognition of our awakened nature. Khentrul Rinpoche offers heartfelt gratitude to the masters who have guided him in this lifetime. This list is offered in reverence and is not exhaustive—only a glimpse of the many teachers, and the living lineages they carried, whose compassion and wisdom he remembers with devotion.

An Unbiased View
Khentrul Rinpoche Jamphel Lodrö is a rimé master. ‘Rimé’ means a ‘non-sectarian’ or ‘non-biased’ view. While some people may think this is related to the idea of all systems being equal, it is actually focused on recognizing the value and benefit of multiple points-of-view. Khentrul Rinpoche wrote a rime book titled “Ocean of Diversity” that includes all the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism as well as many of the religious traditions alive in our world today. We work to cultivate an unshakeable and genuine respect for pluralistic traditions seeing the value in all faiths. We are inclusive and welcome practitioners from all backgrounds.
