  Beru Khyentse Rinpoche

Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Jamgon Kongtrul Lodrö Thaye, both referred to as "Jamgon", were born in Kham-Derge in East Tibet in the Nineteenth Century.

Manjushri is the basis of the emanation of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. He had also previously appeared as several panditas, siddhas, treasure revealers and tulkus in the four sects in India as well as Tibet. Details on this can be found in his reincarnation prayer. Moreover, his appearance is mentioned in Guru Rinpoche's prophecy. more...



  Karma Thinley Rinpoche

Karma Thinley Rinpoche, master of the Kagyu and Sakya traditions, was born into the noble family of Bongsar in 1931 in the Nangchen area of Kham, Eastern Tibet. At the age of one month he received refuge and some two years later was recognised by the then head of the Sakya tradition, Sakya Trizin Dakshul Thinley Rinchen, as the tulku (incarnation) of the Sakyapa master Beru Shaiyak Lama Kunrik, an incarnation of the great Vairocana. At that time he received all the symbols and titles of his rank and authority. more...


  Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Before dying, such a teacher may leave a letter or other clues to the where­abouts of the next incarnation. Later, students and realized teachers look through these clues and, based on those plus a careful examina­tion of dreams and visions, they conduct searches to discover and recog­nize the successor. In this way, particular lineages of teaching are formed, in some cases extending over many centuries. Chögyam Trungpa was the eleventh in the teaching lineage known as the Trungpa Tulkus. more...
