Some Teachers of Mainstream Tibetan Traditions (about
this list )
____________________________________________________________ note: With the exception of the
first two items, this is an alphabetic list of some individual teachers. It
is not all-inclusive nor is it entirely Kagyu.
If you are searching for other mentions of individual lamas
and teachers, past and present, the Search
Engine may help.
Names: In most cases, these are not personal names, but
often refer to a place and a lineage. This does present some
problems in managing lists and in classifying books for library use -- Rinpoche
is not a family name. Also, there may be more than one person bearing a
name, and the same individual may have, and probably has had, a few names in her
or his life. Thus it is possible for a teacher to seem to re-invent him-or
herself.
Spelling: various trends in transliterating
Tibetan give widely differing spellings for the same word or expression. Gyatso
could be Gyamtso or even Djatso. The conventional spelling
may not even reflect pronunciation, for example Chime or Jigme
is pronounced like Jimmy.
Abbreviations: HH = His Holiness, HE = His Eminence,
Ven.=Venerable, VV = Very Venerable.
Titles/forms of address: Ani= cf. 'sister.' It
does not indicate whether the person is fully ordained or not. Khenpo=professor-doctor.
Rinpoche='precious spiritual mentor' cf. Guru; Geshe=doctor
of philosophy; Tulku=incarnate lama.
