His Holiness Sakya Trizin : About

His Holiness the 41st Sakya Trizin was born in Tibet in 1945. He is the supreme head of the Sakya school, one of the four main schools of Tibetan Buddhism. His Holiness belongs to the ancient and distinguished family of Khon, whose history dates back to the early days of Tibet, even before the arrival of Buddhism.

After escaping from Tibet, His Holiness set up residence in exile in Rajpur, India, where he re-restablished the Sakya monasteries and colleges and oversees an estimated 10,000 monks and nuns worldwide, not including an uncounted number still in Tibet.

His Holiness works tirelessly to help Tibetans and preserve Tibetan culture. He travels extensively around the world giving Buddhist teachings, including a four-month tour through Australia and the United States in 2003, where he was accompanied by his son, His Eminence Ratna Vajra Rinpoche and his wife, Her Eminence Dagmo Kushok.
