A Brief Introduction to Hungkar Dorje Rinpoche
Tulku Hungkar Dorje was born in Golog in Amdo and is known to be the
rebirth of the great Nyingma master Do Khyentse. Since he was a child, he
has studied under his father, Orgyen Kusum Lingpa, and other lamas,
various branches of knowledge and the Buddhist teachings of all Tibetan
schools.
He is presently the abbot of Lung Ngön Monastery in Golog, which is
quite well known in East Tibet as a major monastery where about a
thousand monks receive teachings, study and practice. Tulku Hungkar
Dorje teaches the Buddhist sutras and tantras in many areas of Tibet and
also travels to other countries where he has numerous pupils.
His teachings focus particularly on kindness and compassion and he is a
heartfelt advocate for vegetarianism and non-violence, and believes it is
important to educate people on such subjects as harmony amongst
humanity.
He has established the first nunnery in Golog history, in which over a
hundred nuns have excellent opportunities for study and practice and he
hopes to be able to provide a home for many more nuns who do not have a
suitable place to live.
The standard of education being very poor in this region, Rinpoche has
founded a multi-disciplinary technical school with the capacity to provide
free education for a thousand students. The actual buildings have been
completed to a high standard and presently there are few hundred students
studying there.
Rinpoche has arranged the free distribution of food and clothes a number
of times each year to hundreds of monks, nuns, the poor, and aged who are
in need, and also the free distribution of medicine, which has been received
by thousands of lay people.
He is concerned not only with the welfare of humans, but also of all
animals. He has succeeded in having an increasing number of people in
Tibet and elsewhere gives up hunting and selling meat and skins and has
established a regular series of ransoming and saving ever-greater numbers
of animals.
Hungkar Dorje says that as he considers himself to be a philanthropist and
educator, it’s his voluntary responsibility to find ways to genuinely help
people. In particular, he feels that he should take responsibility and the
initiative for the welfare of his own homeland in response to the conditions
there.
These have proved to be not just words, for he is generally perceived to be
a dedicated philanthropist that has accomplished evident beneficial results
for the people of his home region and all over Tibet.
