The 15th Taklung Rinpoche was born in Bhutan on the 15th day of the 4th month of the wood-female-rabbit year in 1975, with numerous auspicious signs, such as the sudden appearance of three natural springs where the color of the water was milky, in front of the window of their house. His family lineage evolved from the famous family lineage of Khochung Choeje - the lineage that evolved from Khendup Kunga Wangpo, the son of the Great Treasure Revealer Pema Lingpa, who evolved from the celestial lineage called the 'Luminous Deity'.
