Other Biographical Information

Traleg Rinpoche was born in 1955 in Kham. Traleg Kyabgon, author of The Essence of Buddhism, is director of Kagyu E-Vam Buddhist Institute, which is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, with a major practice center in upstate New York and a practice community in New York City. Affiliated with the Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, he has been teaching, leading retreats, and traveling to lecture for Buddhist groups and university courses in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia since 1980.

The Kagyu school traces its origin to the eleventh-century translator Marpa, who studied in India with Nāropa. Marpa's student Milarepa trained Gampopa, who founded the first monastery of the Kagyu order. As many as twelve subtraditions grew out from there, the best known being the Karma Kagyu, the Drikung, and the Drukpa.
