His Holiness Chogye Trichen Rinpoche is head of the Tsharpa sub-lineage of the Sakya order of Tibetan Buddhism. He is the 26th patriarch of Phenpo Nalendra Monastary, founded by Rongton Sheja Kunrig (1367-1449). Born in 1920, His Eminence was recognized by the 13th Dalai Lama as 18th in the lineage of Chogye Trichens.
Since coming into exile, Chogye Trichen Rinpoche has built two monastaries: one in Lumbini, birthplace of the Buddha and the other in Kathmandu. Rinpoche is regarded as a master of masters; most Tibetan Buddhist lineage holders are his disciples, including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, His Holiness Sakya Trizin and the late Dudjom Rinpoche. Rinpoche has conducted a series of three and a half year solitary meditation retreats for senior Sakyapa monks over the past fifteen years. Presently living in Nepal, Rinpoche spends so much time in meditation retreat that he is regarded as a hidden master.
