Rooted in the Adzom Drukpa lineage of the Great Perfection, White Jewel Mountain is a sacred mountain sanctuary in Crestone, Colorado, a place for teaching, contemplative retreat, and the quiet work of realization.
Recognized by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche as the reincarnation of Adzom Gyalse Gyurme Dorje, son and spiritual successor of the great master Adzom Drukpa, Rinpoche trained for many years at Shechen Monastery in Nepal, and carries an unbroken transmission of Dzogchen into the present day. He teaches with warmth and clarity, meeting longtime practitioners and newcomers exactly where they are.
