In 1980, Rinpoche came to Europe with his mother and the rest of his family. Jigme Khyentse Rinpoche frequently gives teachings in France and in various other countries, in both French and English. He also oversees Padmakara's projects and supervises the translation of texts from Tibetan into Western languages. (Source: Rigpa Shedra)
