Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche (1920 - February 13, 1996) (). A contemporary Buddhist master of the Kagyü and Nyingma lineages, who lived at Nagi Gompa hermitage in Nepal. His main transmissions were the Chokling Tersar and the pointing-out instruction.

His reincarnation was discovered in March 2006, the four year old son of Chokling Rinpoche (known as the Chokling of Neten, not to be confused with Tulku Urgyen's son who is the Chokling of Tsikey). He lives in the village of Bir in Himachal Pradesh, in India.

Schmidt (2002: p. 15) encapsulates that:

Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche's special quality was to begin with the view rather than end with it; to train in devotion, compassion, and renunciation, perfecting the accumulations, and removing obscurations, all within the framework of the view. The practitioner was encouraged to see all these aspects of practice as the very expressions of the view itself. That was Tulku Urgyen's unique style.

He is the author of the increasingly famous 2-volume series titled 'As It Is'. Due to his sublime clarity this series is considered by many knowledgeable Buddhists to be one of the most profound books ever to be written on understanding emptiness.
