His Eminence the 7th Dzogchen Rinpoche, Jigme Losel Wangpo, is the founder of Shenpen, an international network of organisations that supports the work of Dzogchen Shri Senha Charitable Society (DSSCS).
Shenpen is run by a team of dedicated volunteers who aim to provide unconditional help for those in need. It is this principle of helping without condition that characterises the inspiring work of His Eminence Dzogchen Rinpoche.
The word “shenpen” comes from the Tibetan “shen la phen pa” which literally means, “to bring benefit to others”. Since 2003, Shenpen has been established in America, Australia, France, Germany, Holland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Through its many activities, Shenpen helps preserve the unique cultural and spiritual heritage of Tibet. The international teaching programmes of His Eminence the 7th Dzogchen Rinpoche, are hosted by Shenpen. The programmes provide a precious opportunity for people to connect with the Dharma, allowing Shenpen to support His Eminence in upholding the authentic Dzogchen lineage.
Shenpen is a non-political, non-profit organization, and although its principals are rooted in the teaching of the Buddha to help and not harm, it is also non-religious. It strives to serve people of all castes, religions, and social or political backgrounds without prejudice.

When we completely rest our body, energy and mind in each moment, we have everything we need to experience peace within ourselves. This is the essence of the Dzogchen teachings.
