Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
The Sakyong, Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche, was born in the birthplace of the Buddha, Bodgaya, India in 1963. Soon thereafter he came to the West to be raised by his father, Trungpa Rinpoche in a manner not too dissimilar from other westerners. He went to school in the US, and spent some time at Oxford in England.
After his fathers death in 1987, The Sakyong, having essentially been raised as a westerner, went to India to study in the traditional manner of Tibetan Monks. For a number of years he studied intensively with Dhilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, as well as Penor Rinpoche and Khenpo Namdral.
From 1990 onwards he took on the responsibility of leadership of Shambhala International. He now spends his time teaching both Shambhala and Buddhist teachings from his unique tradition of being both a westerner and educated in the traditional manner of Tibetan Buddhism. He spends some months a year on retreat in India, studying for his Khenpo degree.
