Sakyong, Jampal Trinley Dradül, is the current lineage holder and was enthroned as Sakyong in 1995. With extensive training in both Eastern and Western traditions, he brings a rare perspective shaped by a deep understanding of the universal values of the human spirit. In the Tibetan tradition, Sakyong Mipham is recognized as the incarnation of Mipham the Great, one of Tibet’s most revered meditation masters.
His teachings invite thoughtful reflection on the direction of humanity and encourage a collective return to our core principles. At the heart of his message is the belief that how humanity sees itself is essential to the future of both people and the planet. He describes this vision as enlightened society: a world where individuals and communities trust their inherent worthiness and live with greater confidence, clarity, and responsibility.
He is also the author of Turning the Mind into an Ally, Ruling Your World, and Running with the Mind of Meditation.
