Namkhai Yeshi
Spiritual Guide the Dzogchen Community, son and devoted disciple of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu.
Namkhai Yeshi was born in Italy in 1970. Son and student of Dzogchen master Chögyal Namkhai Norbu (1938-2018), Namkhai Yeshi received both Christian and Buddhist education and studied cinematography, philosophy, and computer science. His professional experience is in IT for medium-sized enterprises, where he has held positions of increasing responsibility.
As a child, H.H. Sakya Trizin recognized him as the reincarnation of his maternal uncle, Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Wangchuk (1909-1960), giving him the name Jamyang Chökyi Nyima; in 2007, Namkhai Yeshi visited his monastery in Tibet.
At his father’s request, he has always been involved in the future of the Dzogchen Community, introducing modernity and technology to support its natural evolution.
Today, as holder of the transmission and lineage of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, he serves as spiritual guide of the international Dzogchen Community, dividing his time between family and work commitments and institutional duties.
Over the past five years, Namkhai Yeshi has trained in electronic music at the Luigi Cherubini Conservatory in Florence and now composes music on the computer; he uses sound and the language of electroacoustic music to make ancient knowledge and meditative experiences accessible.
