Untitled

 * I added material to this page. With respect, since Rinpoche has been my teacher since 1991. Point it: I consider it inappropriate for me to sign what I add there. I'm more than happy to acknowledge my work here. Karma Chopal aka ==BenTremblay (talk) 05:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Monk?
His biography says, "Rinpoche . . was ordained as a novice monk in 1974." But it does not say if he is now a bhikshu or a layperson now. Does anyone know? Sylvain1972 (talk) 13:23, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * He is one of 3 abbots (and so officially a monk) of Dzogchen Monastery and is also is the highest ranking Rinpoche at Rumtek Monastery, and at public appearances, he almost always wears his robes. He lives as a layperson most of the time when not in public, as far as I know. Source: http://www.nalandabodhi.org/teachers/the-dzogchen-ponlop-rinpoche/history.aspx and personal experience.

 * Yes, but in the Nyingma tradition non-monks wear robes. This has also become more common in the Kagyu tradition--Traleg Rinpoche is a high ranking Rinpoche, for instance, and wears robes, but he is a layperson.Sylvain1972 (talk) 14:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I talked to one of his senior students. Rinpoche was formerly a bhikṣu (dge long), but returned his vows and is now a lay teacher.Sylvain1972 (talk) 16:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Joshua Johnathan, thanks for the clear explanations of reasons for these reversions, and Wikipedia guidelines. I'm a new editor, as you can guess, and learning my way around. I do intend to try again at updating this page, but will do so in a more measured, incremental way with reference to the Wiki-policy links you provided. Thanks.
