Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok (1933 - 2004) was a Nyingma lama from the Dhok region of Kham. His family were nomads. He was the most influential lama of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism in contemporary Tibet.
In 1959 he made the crucial decision to remain in Kham rather than flee to India. A Tibetan Buddhist meditation master and renowned teacher of Great Perfection (Dzogchen), he established the Serthar Buddhist Institute in 1980, aka Larung Gar, a non-sectarian study center with approximately 10,000 monks, nuns, and lay students at its highest count. He played an important role in revitalizing the teaching of Tibetan Buddhism following the liberalization of religious practice in 1980. The purpose of the Institute has been to provide an ecumenical training in Tibetan Buddhism and to meet the need for renewal of meditation and scholarship all over Tibet. Despite its remote location, it grew from a handful of disciples gathering in Khenpo's home to be one of the largest and most influential centers for the study of Tibetan Buddhism in the world, numbering to nearly 10,000 monks, nuns, and lay disciples by the year 2000.
The student body of Serthar Institute was made up of monks, nuns, lay "vow-holders" of both Tibetan and Chinese origins, and tantric practitioners. They studied under four major religious divisions in the Institute: Ngarig Nangten Lobling, International Religious Committee, Pema Khandro Duling Nunnery, and Lektso Charbeb Ling. Ngarig Nangten Lobling consisted of 2,500 Tibetan monks. Lektso Charbeb Ling is the section that trained over 1,000 lay Tibetan "vow-holders" and tantric practitioners from Serthar and other regions of Tibet. Pema Khandro Duling Nunnery was the home for study to approximately 3,500-4,000 nuns from all regions of Tibet. More than half of those who came to Serthar were women and the curriculum allowed nuns to achieve a coveted Khenpo degree for the first time in Tibetan history. Entry into the relatively small number of nunneries that exist in other areas of Tibet is limited, but Serthar was open to virtually anyone who genuinely sought to become a student of Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok's ecumenical vision. Roughly 10% of the nearly 10,000 students attending Serthar were ethnic Chinese. They attended separate classes taught in Mandarin while larger classes were taught in the Tibetan language. The International Religious Committee oversaw 1,000 disciples from regions of the People's Republic of China and students from other Asian countries. Rigorous Buddhist study has covered a large body of texts in areas of painting, medicine, history, poetry, philosophy, debate, composition, grammar, linguistics, religious art, and architecture. The Institute has offered a variety of courses in the classical fields of Tibetan Buddhism. All four traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as Tibet's indigenous religion, Bon, can still be studied in depth. In addition, five subjects are taught under sutra: Madhyamika (middle-way philosophy), Pramana (logic), Prajñaparamita (perfection of wisdom), Abhidharma (metaphysics), and Vinaya (discipline) and the four classes of Tantra (esoteric practice) are all taught, namely kriya-tantra (action tantra), carya-tantra (performance tantra), yoga-tantra (yogic tantra), and anuttara-tantra (superior yogic tantra). The students' aptitude in all subjects throughout the entire course determine the attainment of their degrees.
In the 1990's, he began an appeal to traditional Tibetan yak herders to refrain from commercial sale of their livestock for spiritual and cultural reasons that has grown into the Anti-Slaughter Movement. He first started the Anti-Slaughter Movement after seeing an increase in the slaughter rate of livestock from Tibetan households and in the way that livestock suffered in transportation to markets in China. As a religious teacher, he requested traditional herders to reduce their sale of livestock to commercial markets or to stop altogether. His students and many other lamas made similar appeals to herders to refrain from selling their livestock for commercial slaughter. Large numbers of herders responded by taking an oath to stop for a period of three years(or forever). Today, the practice of herders vowing to refrain from commercial activity with their yak herds has built into a movement that began in Sertha and spread to the larger geographical areas of the Eastern Tibetan Plateau and into the Tibetan pastoral areas of Sichuan, Qinhai, Gansu, and Tibet Autonomous Region.
On December 29, 2003, aged 70, he was admitted to the Military Hospital in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, with heart problems, and died there on January 7, 2004. (wiki)

@throbule Your mantra says you believe in the Lotus Sutra. If you had read it, you would know more about Buddhism than you do now, but less than if you'd studied with Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche.

The Universe, according to Buddha, is governed by one single umbrella law based on the
science and rhythm of cause and effect, and he said that mankind would eventually prove this.
This law which shoul be chanted by the human voice is called;
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.
By chanting aloud every day for at least 10 minutes, one can put oneself into perfect rhythm with the
Universe, and therby gain insights, wisdom, energy, happiness and benefits that would be otherwise not be available to us.
