Kyabjé 怙主 / 依怙主

Kyabjé (wyl. skyabs rje) is a mark of respect reserved for the seniormost lamas of the tradition, whose realization and powers are extraordinary. For example among today's Nyingmapa lamas it is used for the likes of Trulshik Rinpoche, Penor Rinpoche, Chatral Rinpoche, Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche and Minling Trichen Rinpoche. The term means lord (jé) of refuge (kyab), signifying someone who, on account of his or her extraordinary realization, has the capacity to protect us from the suffering of samsara and its causes, the disturbing emotions. It is sometimes rendered into English as 'His Holiness' or 'His Eminence'. 用來尊稱某傳承法脈中最為資深且具有卓越了悟和威能的上師。例如寧瑪派中的初璽仁波切、貝諾仁波切、賈札仁波切、塔龍澤珠仁波切和敏林澈清仁波切等，皆具有此頭銜。音譯洽傑，意思為kyab洽（皈依）之jé傑（主），表示具有卓越了悟而能保護我們免於輪迴的痛苦和苦因，也就是煩惱。英文中有時會以「法王」（His Holiness）或「尊貴的」（His Eminence）來指稱。
