Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was a towering figure, both figurative and literally, that had an immense impact on the Tibetan Buddhist cultural milieu, especially in the latter half of the twentieth century. Recognized as the mind incarnation of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, he was the last of the major Khyentse tulkus to have been raised and educated in old Tibet and was highly instrumental in the continuation of many of the Tibetan Buddhist teachings and traditions among the Tibetan diaspora communities on the southern slopes of the Himalayas the buttress the Tibetan plateau. Among his many accomplishments are included the establishment of a new branch of Shechen Monastery in Nepal that continues to function in tandem with the illustrious Nyingma monastic institution in eastern Tibet, the preservation and reproduction of hundred of volumes of Tibetan Buddhist literature, as well as his vast teaching activities involved with the transmission of the Tibetan lineages to large audiences, included some of the most eminent Tibetan teachers of the present day. The wealth of his knowledge and capacity to transmit it was such that his teacher, student, and frequent collaborator, Dzongsar Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö, is reported to have been so deeply relieved upon hearing that Dilgo Khyentse had managed to escape the rapidly deteriorating situation in Tibet of the 1950's, stating that "the Dharma will be safe now".
