Author Biography GURU PADMASAMBHAVA was miraculously born within a blossoming lotus flower on the shore of Lake Dhanakosha in the northwest of Uddiyana. Known as Padmasambhava, the Lotus-Born, he grew to adulthood in the kingdom of Uddiyana and travelled extensively thereafter through ancient India, in search of realized masters of sutra and tantra with whom to study the Dharma. The Lotus-Born Guru then travelled to Nepal, where he engaged in rigorous practices and extraordinary displays of compassion. Finally, he reached Tibet at the invitation of the renowned Dharma King Trisong Detsen, taking teachings with him that would inspire and transform, and that continue to do so to this day. Neten Chokling Rinpoche was born in 1973 to a humble family in Wandipodzong, central Bhutan. Rinpoche was recognised and enthroned at the age of seven as the Fourth Neten Chokling Rinpoche by both His Holiness the Sixteenth Karmapa and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, from whom he received many teachings and transmissions. Renowned as an accomplished practitioner, Rinpoche is the spiritual head of the Pema Ewam Chögar Gyurme Ling Monastery in Bir, India. Rinpoche acted in Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoches films The Cup (1999) and Travellers and Magicians (2003), and in 2006, he directed his first film, The Life of Milarepa - Part I. Since then, Neten Chokling has also directed Brilliant Moon, a documentary on the life of his teacher, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and he is currently in the midst of a production of a documentary on Padmasambhava. Rinpoche spends most of his time in retreat, oversees many Vajrayana practices, gives teachings and works as a film director. Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche was born in 1981 to Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche and his wife Dechen Paldron. Recognised at a young age, Rinpoche received an abundance of transmissions, empowerments, and instructions from great masters such as Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Dudjom Rinpoche, Penor Rinpoche, Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche and Trulshik Rinpoche. Rinpoche is abbot of several monasteries in Nepal, and he lends assistance to various monasteries and practice centres in Tibet, presides as head of numerous dharma centres in North America and Asia, and teaches widely at centres around the world. As a yogi-practitioner with a family who also carries responsibility for monastic institutions, Rinpoche is deeply acquainted with both these walks of life and paths of practice. Samye Translations is a growing team of young translators, editors, and writers working under the guidance of Kyapje Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche and Phakchok Rinpoche.
