Sogyal Rinpoche  (Tib. བསོད་རྒྱལ་རིན་པོ་ཆེ་, Wyl. bsod rgyal rin po che) — Born into the Lakar family in Kham in Eastern Tibet, Sogyal Rinpoche was recognized as the incarnation of Lerab Lingpa Tertön Sogyal, a teacher to the Thirteenth Dalai Lama, by Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö, one of the most outstanding spiritual masters of the twentieth century. Jamyang Khyentse supervised Rinpoche's training and raised him like his own son.

索甲仁波切出生於西藏東部康巴的拉卡家族，由二十世紀最傑出的靈性大師之一蔣揚．欽哲．確吉．羅卓，認證為伏藏師索甲．雷瑞．林巴（十三世達賴喇嘛的老師之一）的轉世。蔣揚．欽哲指導仁波切的修學，並視如己出地養育他。

In 1971, Rinpoche went to England where he received a Western education, studying Comparative Religion at Cambridge University. He went on to study with many other great masters, of all schools of Tibetan Buddhism, including Dudjom Rinpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche, serving as their translator and aide.

仁波切在1971年到達英國，並在那裡接受西方教育，於劍橋大學主修比較宗教學。此後他向很多其他各派偉大的藏傳佛教傳承大師們學習，包括敦珠仁波切，頂果．欽哲仁波切以及紐修堪仁波切，擔任他們的翻譯以及助手。

With his remarkable gift for presenting the essence of Tibetan Buddhism in a way that is both authentic and profoundly relevant to the modern mind, Sogyal Rinpoche is one of the most renowned teachers of our time. He is also the author of the highly-acclaimed and ground breaking book, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. Two million copies of this spiritual classic have been sold in 29 languages and 56 countries. It has been adopted by colleges, groups and institutions, both medical and religious, and is used extensively by nurses, doctors and health care professionals.

索甲仁波切以其能真實且深刻地將藏傳佛教精髓呈現給現代［人們］心靈的卓越天賦，而成為當代最負盛名的導師之一。他也是那本受到高度讚譽且富有開創性的《西藏生死書》之作者。這本心靈經典被翻譯成29種語言，在56個國家發行了兩百萬份。此書受到包括醫療和宗教方面的學院、團體和機構所採用，並廣受護士、醫生和醫護專業人員所運用。

Rinpoche is also the founder and spiritual director of Rigpa, an international network of 130 centres and groups in 41 countries around the world. He has been teaching for over 30 years and continues to travel widely in Europe, America, Australia, and Asia, addressing thousands of people on his retreats and teaching tours.

仁波切也是Rigpa（本覺會）的創始人和精神領袖，這個國際網絡在世界41個國家具有130多個中心和團體。他傳法已超過30年，並持續走訪於歐洲、美國、澳洲以及亞洲各處，在他的隱居期間以及教學之旅中，都給予成千上萬人們開示。
