Rinpoche was the rebirth of Dudjom Lingpa, one of the greatest scholars and treasure-revealing masters of the Nyingma tradition. His own writings and revelations are regarded as a crown jewel of contemporary Vajrayana. Dudjom Rinpoche lived in Tibet, Nepal, India, Europe, and the United States.

Rinpoche was the eldest son of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche. Recognized as an incarnation of Tulku Trimé Özer, one of Dudjom Lingpa’s sons, he was also regarded as an emanation of Longchenpa. In 1990, Rinpoche advised Lama Dechen Yeshe Wangmo to focus her path and teaching activities on The Dakini Heart Essence.

Rinpoche was the tenth generation descendant of Palchen Namkha Jigme (1757-1821), founder of Kyunglung and the 1900 Ngakpa Group in Amdo, Tibet.

Rinpoche received the lineage through his grandfather, Wöntsang Druk-gyal, and then his father, Lama Chimé Dorje. Born in Kongpo, southern Tibet, Rinpoche studied with His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche in Tibet and India. In 1984, he settled in the USA and established Vajrayana Foundation and Pema Osel Ling in California.

After Rinpoche’s passing in 2013, the Lama Tharchin Rinpoche Heritage Foundation was established with the purpose of collecting, cataloging, preserving, and making available Rinpoche’s legacy of teachings, practice traditions, ritual, writing, and art.
