As an accomplished scholar and Vajrayana master, Rinpoche has an amazing ability to convey profound topics simply and directly, making the rich, vast ocean of Dharma accessible and easy to put into practice. (A more extensive biography of Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche can be found here.)
Ven. Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche is known for his incredible sweetness and kindness, his extraordinary ability to distill profound Buddhist teachings into easy-to-practice instructions, and for his unwavering bodhichitta. His love, compassion, and wisdom is steady and deep like a vast ocean. See for yourself.
