Namkha Gyeltsen (1956-2020)

Post by mutsuk »

The great Dzogchen practitioner and Chülen (bcud-len) yogi Drubchen Namkha Gyeltsen (b. 1956) passed away on the 4th of February. He was very involved in Chülen practice throughout his life, and spent a very long time in solitude, practicing Dzogchen in retreat. He was mostly associated with Tsedruk monastery which is one of the most amazing place you can find in Tibet.
