About Tara’s Triple Excellence
Vision
We envision a world in which the Buddha’s wisdom teachings and meditations are available to everyone in an easily accessible format to help foster flourishing societies grounded in wisdom and compassion.
Mission
Working under the direct guidance of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, our mission is to make an authentic and inspiring daily guided Buddhist meditation program available to a global audience, so that participants can access their innermost qualities of generosity, patience, loving kindness, compassion, and wisdom.
Our Teachers
Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche
Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche is a world-renowned teacher and meditation master in the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in Tibet in 1951, he is the first-born son of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. As a child, Chokyi Nyima—“Sun of the Dharma”—was recognized as the seventh incarnation of the Tibetan meditation master Gar Drubchen.
Among his many activities, in 2010 Rinpoche founded the Tara’s Triple Excellence Team. His impetus for creating this online meditation program was to provide authentic teachings and a supportive structure for students of the Buddhist path to follow in their daily practice at home.
Every year, Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche travels worldwide to teach practitioners, including annual TTE retreats with Tara empowerments. To learn more about Rinpoche’s many activities, please visit Shedrub.org.
Drubpon Lama Tenzin Sangpo
At Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling, Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche’s monastery in Boudhanath, Nepal, Drubpon Lama Tenzin Sangpo received ordination and the traditional education. He completed the traditional three-year retreat at the Asura Cave retreat center in Pharping, as well as receiving detailed personal instructions on Tara’s Triple Excellence from Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche himself.
Now, as an expert on the Tara’s Triple Excellence terma, he travels throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas to share his knowledge with dedicated students in seminars and retreats.
To learn more about his activities, please review the Activities page.
The Tara’s Triple Excellence Team
The Tara’s Triple Excellence program was built and flourishes thanks to a small paid staff and a growing global team of over 70 volunteers who diligently work on translating, editing, narrating, and video-editing the TTE program into their respective languages, as well as supporting the various projects of the English-language team, such as managing, video-recording, and disseminating teachings and seminars of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche and Drubpon Lama Tenzin Sangpo, both online and in person.
We welcome volunteers who can offer a medium or long-term commitment to help: skilled translators, editors, film makers and video editors, musicians, sound engineers, designers, photographers, and marketing and advertising experts are especially valuable.
