Drupon Rinpoche on Horseback in Hudson, Florida, Nov. 2007	Brief Biography Drupon Thinley Ningpo is a teacher of Buddhist philosophy and was well- respected as the monastery disciplinarian for several years at JangChub Ling, the Drikung Monastery in Dehra Dun, India, which is the seat of His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche and the Drikung Kagyu lineage. This is also the site of the Samtenling Nunnery, the Drikung Kagyu Institute and the Songtsen Library. Drupon Thinley Ningpo Rinpoche also accomplished the traditional three-year retreat, during which he studied and practiced the Five-fold Path of Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa. He was awarded the title "Drupon," or "Retreat Master," based on these accomplishments. Thus, he is accomplished in the philosophy of sutra and tantra. Drupon Rinpoche is the retreat master of the Phuntsok Dargye Ling Retreat Center in Frederick Maryland. Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche brought him to the US in 2001 to be one of the two resident lamas at the Tibetan Meditation Center in Frederick, Maryland. He has continued Khenchen's schedule of retreats and teachings there and has taught at other Drigung centers throughout the country. He is a wonderful teacher with that familiar engaging sense of humor who also emanates vast kindness and compassion.
