His Eminence Ratna Vajra Rinpoche is a senior lineage master of the Sakya school in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. He is the eldest son of the 41st Sakya Trizin, an enduring institution that will change into a rotating, three-year appointment among senior Sakya figures starting next year. He oversees many Sakya monasteries and centers around the world and has given retreats and empowerments in many countries. He was in Hong Kong in June 2016 and kindly agreed to this exclusive interview with Buddhistdoor Global.
