Khen Rinpoche
Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche, formerly known as Khenpo Orgyen Thinley Rinpoche, is a meditation master in the Nyingma lineage of the Buddhist tradition. He studied for ten years at Lharang Gar in Serta, eastern Tibet, with his teacher, the great Jigmed Phuntsok Rinpoche, who is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest Dzogchen masters of the twentieth century. During this time, he received teachings, meditation instructions, and spiritual training in the Mahayana, Vajrayana, and Dzogchen traditions, and developed a special appreciation for the Secret Treasures of Guru Rinpoche, Padmasambhava.
He is the founder and spiritual director of Atiamrita, an organization dedicated to promoting happiness, inner peace, and enlightenment. Rinpoche lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, and is currently writing his first book as well as traveling throughout North America speaking on meditation and spirituality.
