Drikung Kagyu Yogi Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche born in Drikung, Tibet in 1921 & left the guesthouse of his body on December 25th 2007 at 10:00 p.m.

He entered Drikung Nyima Changra Buddhist Institute at a very young age, and studied Buddhist philosophy. After his graduation, Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche became the disciple of one of the foremost contemporary retreat masters of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage, Drubwang Pachung Rinpoche (1901-1988).

Under the guidance of Drubwang Pachung Rinpoche, Drubwang Konchok Norbu went on retreat for many years.

It was during a 10 year retreat that Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche gained the supreme experiential understanding of Mahamudra. Many a time he saw His Holiness the Dalai Lama in his vision. Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche lived in the Drikung Kagyu Institute in northern India . Some time ago Drubwang Rinpoche forewarned that he would leave this world for the benefit of all sentient beings.

At the request of H.H. XIV Dalai Lama, Drubwang Rinpoche agreed to stay on for a few more years, and in September 1999, His Holiness wrote a long life prayer for Rinpoche at the request of the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche, the Supreme Co-Head of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Drubwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche did not give tantric empowerments or lofty teachings on Mahamudra, or on Mahasandhi. Through his deep compasion he encouraged and inspired people to do the simplest of all dharma practices: Extend kindness, and recite Om Mani Padme Hung, and Om Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hung.
