Sakyong Mipham
Sakyong Jamgön Mipham Rinpoche, also known as Sakyong Mipham, is the head of the Shambhala Buddhist lineage and Shambhala International.
Born in 1962 as Osel Rangdrol Mukpo, he leads a global network of Buddhist centers and enterprises founded by his father, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
A high lama in the Kagyü and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism, he is believed to be the second incarnation of Mipham the Great, revered as an emanation of the bodhisattva of wisdom, Manjushri.
The title "Rinpoche" is an honorific meaning "precious one" in Tibetan, typically given to recognized reincarnate lamas or tulkus.
