Heart-sons

Post by yagmort »

i was trying to locate Dudjom Rinpoche heart-sons, but as such i found only Khenpo Karpo mentioned straightforward as one, he passed away in 2017.

this is where i noticed that so many Nyingma high lamas passed away in the last 10-15 years.

for example,

Dawa Chödak Rinpoche, 2017
Chatral Rinpoche, 2015
Pema Dorje Rinpoche, 2018
Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, 2013
Katok Getse Rinpoche, 2018
Kunzang Dechen Lingpa Rinpoche, 2006
Kunzang Dorje Rinpoche, 2010
Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche, 2015
Trulshik Rinpoche, 2011
Yangthang Rinpoche, 2016
Wangdor Rinpoche, 2019
Namkhai Norbu, 2018

since it's quite hard for an amateur like me  to find out who are heart-sons/lineage holders or otherwise have been appointed to teach and continue the lineage of the great Nyingma Rinpoches who passed away, if anyone here has first-hand knowledge about their spiritual successors, please share the info. i'm not narrowing it down to the above listed lamas, any info regarding the continuity of Nyingma lineages is greatly appreciated.

personally, i struggle with Dudjom Rinpoche and Dilgo Khyentse principal lineage holders.
Dudjom Rinpoche had so many disciples it's hard to understand who were his major heart-students among them. as of now i think of Khenpo Karpo, Chatral Rinpoche, Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche, Dawa Chödak Rinpoche, Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, Ngagpa Yeshe Dorje, all of whom passed away. does that make Dudjom Sangye Pema Zhepa Rinpoche the only Dudjom Tersar lineage holder currently alive?

about Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche principal lineage holders i have not got a clue. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche? would be glad for any help here

Sorry, I should've said H.H. Dudjom Sangay Pema Zhepa Rinpoche.

As for the original list of recently passed Nyingma Lamas, I'd add:

Loppon Nikula (Bhutan)
Tulku Thadral (Nepal)

As for living Heart-sons of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, I'd add:

Gohen Tulku Sang-ngag Tenzin Rinpoche (Who is also a Heart-son and lineage-holder of Pegyal Lingpa)
Pema Chophel པདྨ་ཆོས་འཕེལ

I don’t think Tulku Thadral has passed away.

Oops, very, very sorry. My mistake. OM BA-DZRA SA-TO HUNG. Meant to say Lama Pema Yedrol Dorje.

Thank you for the correction.
