INTRODUCTION

His Eminence the Ninth Khamtrul Rinpoche Jigme Pema Nyinjadh, is one of the highly accomplished masters of the Drukpa Lineage. He was born in Darjeeling, India, into the family of His Holiness the Twelfth Gyalwang Drukpa in 1981. The successive reincarnations of Khamtrul Rinpoches are revered as the authentic emanations of Guru Padmasambhava.

H.E. the 9th Khamtrul Rinpoche, Jigme Pema Nyinjadh, holds master's degree in Buddhist Philosophy and having travelled the world for almost 10 years now. He strongly emphasizes that one should follow the spiritual path with an unwavering wish for every being to be happy, and how a life od a master can only be meaningful if he or she is here for one sole purpose - to benefit others just as a candle burning itself to despel darkness in others' lives.

The presence of young Rinpoches such as His Eminence, provides a living example and model to those lost beings in the fast-moving cyber world; as the younger generation today becomes more intoxicated by the illusive nature of the world. There is an urgent need for Buddhism, an ancient spiritual philosophy and way of life, to be able to communicate with them and the lot of us.
