Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche
Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche
I wanted to ask if anyone can provide some information on Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche. I just read that he will be giving several empowerments from the Longchen Nyingtik in London in May. It seems like a good opportunity but it is difficult to find anything more about him online than what is in the wiki.

As with all Lamas you don't know well, caveat emptor. I would spend time taking their non Vajrayāna teachings first.Aryjna wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 11:06 pm I wanted to ask if anyone can provide some information on Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche.

Re: Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche
In this case it doesn't seem possible. The only really reliable way is probably to have a reference from a teacher you trust.Malcolm wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 11:28 pmAs with all Lamas you don't know well, caveat emptor.

Re: Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche
I am sure he is fine. But in general, it is best if one can get some kind of take on the teacher before making serious Vajrayāna commitments.Aryjna wrote: ↑Mon Mar 19, 2018 11:44 pmIn this case it doesn't seem possible.

"People are fond of saying all sorts of things about others behind their backs, mentioning their names again and again. Instead of slandering others in this way, “slander” the yidam: utter his name repeatedly by reciting his mantra all the time." - Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche - Zurchungpa’s Testament - Shambhala Publications
Re: Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche
Thanks for the links, the Longchenpa commentary looks interesting.

Re: Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche
Khenchen Pema Sherab is the real deal. He was Dilgo Khyentse's attendant for many years when he first fled into exile and went on to head the shedra at Namdroling, which under his charge became perhaps the most important Nyingma institution of higher learning outside of Tibet. He is one of the most respected Nyingma scholars living today. His credentials are impeccable, so there should be no doubt.

Although many individuals in this age appear to be merely indulging their worldly desires, one does not have the capacity to judge them, so it is best to train in pure vision.

I received them in five days, without it being too extreme.
If he really got after it they could be done in 3.
"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa

Sorry, I should've said "was" not enough in my post, I was there.

Re: Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche
Have you also been to other teachings/transmissions by him? I read that he gives a Dzogchen seminar every autumn but can't find the page now.
Also, do you know if he is he closely associated with Gangteng Tulku, or does he just get invited by yeshkhorlo?
Re: Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche
No, I haven't been to his other teachings, haven't even known of him before this. No idea about his association with Gangteng Tulku either, sorry.

Re: Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche
When I lived at Namdroling and took monastic vows, Khenchen Pema Sherab was my abbot (primary lama bestowing ordination). Ordination is given once a year at Namdroling. Some years, HH Penor Rinpoche gave the vows and some years he assigned Khenchen to do it. That was the case my year. As others have said, he was a primary disciple of HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and has been the senior most Khenpo at Namdroling for decades (one of the three "Khenchens" there, the others being Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso aka "Khenpo Guru" and Khenchen Namdrol Rinpoche). He is known as an excellent scholar, a true practitioner and truly pure Bhikhsu. Though I did not get to spend much time with him, and I did not last very long as a monk, he showed me deep kindness. My friend Lopon Damcho Wangmo (a Canadian ani and the first westerner that I know of to complete Nyingma shedra studies in a Tibetan monastic setting) has been under Khenchen's personal and very close guidance since I first met her in 2003. Khenchen is a staunch supporter of Tibetan nuns in general and as such greatly loved by the Palyul nuns at Namdroling, and is also supportive of working toward full ordination for nuns in the Tibetan tradition. I was fortunate to receive all the lungs for the Root Texts of Longchen Nyingthig (Nyingthig Tsa Pod) from Khenchen when HHPR gave the wangs in Nepal in 2005.
Hope this helps fill in some details about Khenchen. You might find more at palyul.org under the "Teachers" section.

Thank you, that is helpful. I'd like to ask some more questions about Namdroling through PM if you have time.pema tsultrim wrote: ↑Sun Mar 25, 2018 5:14 am When I lived at Namdroling and took monastic vows, Khenchen Pema Sherab was my abbot (primary lama bestowing ordination).

Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche is one of the senior-most Khenpos in Nyingma tradition, He was an attendant of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche for 10 years and then close student of Penor Rinpoche among others. One of the oldest lamas of Tibetan Buddhism, I would definitely use the opportunity .
