We are pleased to announce that every week during Saga Dawa, Khenpo Tenzin Norgay Rinpoche will teach on Essence of Pith Instructions Like Refined Butter, the pith Dzogchen instructions Guru Rinpoche’s gave to Yeshe Tsogyal before departing Tibet, related to how to prepare for death. When Guru Rinpoche was about to leave Tibet, the Dakini Yeshe Tsogyal said to him,

“O Great Master, you are going off to tame the cannibals, and I will be left behind in Tibet. Although I have served you for a long time, now I am an old woman close to death and I still have no confidence in practice. Please be compassionate and give me a concise, easy-to-apply teaching of all pith instructions synthesized into one.”

This teaching is Guru Rinpoche’s response to her request.

About the Teacher
Khenpo Tenzin Norgay Rinpoche was born in Bhutan. After completing secondary school in 1986, he joined the Ngagyur Nyingma Institute, the prestigious Buddhist studies and research center at Namdroling Monastery in Mysore, South India. At the Institute he studied under Khenchen Pema Sherab, Khenpo Namdrol Tsering, Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso, and other visiting professors, including Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok and Khenpo Pema Tsewang from Tibet. He completed the Shedra program in 1995 and joined the Institute staff, teaching there for three years. He was formally enthroned as Khenpo by His Holiness Penor Rinpoche in 1998 and was assigned by His Holiness to teach at the Buddhist college at Palyul monastery in Tibet. Khenpo-la received all the major empowerments of the Rinchen Terzod, Nam Cho, Nyingthik Yabshi and Nyingma Kama from His Holiness Penor Rinpoche and the Mipham Kabum from His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. Because of his knowledge and experience, and fluent command of the English language, His Holiness Penor Rinpoche assigned him to teach students in North America in conjunction with Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche.
