The seventh Phakchok Rinpoche, Tendzin Jigmey Drakpa, was born in the Year of the Iron Bird, 1981. The family he was born into is, among the six original clans, the Nangchen Tsangsar of the Khepaga line which were chiefly holders of the Barom Kagyu Dharma lineage, a family line who maintained an unbroken tradition of combining Kagyu and Nyingma.

Saw Rinpoche at a public talk in Vancouver. He is a truly amazing teacher. If you get a chance to see him, don't miss it.

Thank you for posting this video on youtube.There are many Dharma teachings on Youtube, including Tsemtulku who has 214 videos. What Tsem Rinpoche said in his many videos are very similar to this talk.

May all teachers live long to turn the wheel of Dharma.

He was in Denmark in september last year, giving a teaching on Heart Sutra - so fantastic and so clear, all I had to say when he was finished was "WOW".

greatest wisdom. Even in earthly life, when you get children because of YOURSELF, for respect, or so that they will help you, you realy miss it. When you have the compassion and the lack of earthly pride that Rinpoche is talking about, you get kids for a differebt reason: not to continue your name for you. ha ha.
