Sogyal Rinpoche has been teaching in the West for more than thirty years and is universally acknowledged as one of the leading interpreters of the Tibetan Buddhist teachings for the modern world. Tens of thousands of students from all corners of the globe are now part of Rigpa, the Buddhist organization he created as a vehicle for his work.

Rigpa is widely respected throughout the Buddhist community for its authenticity, open-minded spirit and great many accomplishments. Many masters believe that Rigpa has a special role to play in the transmission of the Buddhist teachings in the West and for this reason, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other eminent Tibetan teachers have urged us to make a long-term plan for the future of Rigpa’s work.

We have a special responsibility to ensure that Sogyal Rinpoche's legacy - everything that he and his devoted students have created and built up over more than thirty years - will continue to benefit generations to come, in ever-increasing ways.
