What us Rinpoche in buddhism ? What does it mean.
Although I am a christian I am curious what's a rinpoche. Always hear this term on TV but dunno the meaning.
Rinpoche or Rimpoche (Tibetan: རིན་པོ་ཆེ་; Wylie: rin po che; IPA: [rinˈpotʃe]) is an honorific used in Tibetan Buddhism. It literally means "precious one,"[1] and is used to address or describe reincarnated Tibetan lamas.
Rinpoche is higher than lama
