Treasure Revealer

Dilgo Khyentse Tashi Peljor

1910–1991

Dilgo Khyentse Tashi Peljor (1910–1991) was a prominent Tibetan Buddhist master of the Nyingma tradition, renowned as a scholar, treasure revealer, and teacher. Born into the illustrious Dilgo family in Kham, he was recognized as a reincarnation of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, although his father initially resisted acknowledging his tulku status. Trained under esteemed masters such as Shechen Gyeltsab and Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro, he became a central figure in preserving and revitalizing Tibetan Buddhism. Despite political turmoil, he fled to Bhutan and India in 1956, where he continued teaching and established Shechen Monastery in Nepal as a hub of Nyingma practice. An influential teacher to many renowned lamas, his extraordinary energy and dedication to the Dharma endured until his passing. His reincarnation, Dilgo Yangsi, continues his spiritual legacy.
