| − | The first Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche is said to have been an emanation of, among others, the great yogis Repa Shiwa Ö (Twelfth Century C.E.) and Melong Dorje (1243-1303). The former was one of the eight heart sons of Milarepa. He worked together with the [[1st Dzogchen Rinpoche|1st Dzogchen Rinpoche, Pema Rigdzin]], to establish [[Dzogchen Monastery]] in 1685. After the death of the latter, the [[1st Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche]] then became abbot of [[Dzogchen Monastery]]. Since that time, the succesive [[Dzogchen Rinpoche]]s have been the abbots of [[Dzogchen Monastery]] along with members of the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche line, and members of the [[Kushok Gemong Rinpoche]] line.

| − | The current '''Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche''' was born in 1965 at Rumtek Monastery (Dharma Chakra Center) in Sikkim, Northern India and was raised from a young age by His Holiness the [[16th_Karmapa|16th Karmapa Rangjung Rikpey Dorje]], supreme head of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. His father was Dhamchö Yongdu, the General Secretary of His Holiness the Sixteenth Gyalwang Karmapa and his mother was Lekshey Drolma, who comes from a family of intellectuals and artists. His Holiness Karmapa prophesized his birth to his parents before he was conceived. Upon his birth, Karmapa immediately recognized him as the seventh in the line of Dzogchen Ponlop incarnations. As a heart son of the Karmapa, he is one of the highest ranking lineage holders of the [[Karma Kagyu]] tradition. He is also a highly esteemed Nyingma master who received many of the Nyingma tranmissions from [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]], [[Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche]], and others. He was enthroned as The Seventh Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche at Rumtek Monastery in 1968.<ref>[http://www.dpr.info/biography.htm The 7th Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche Karma Sungrap Ngedon Tenpa Gyaltsen (1965-present) | DPR.info]</ref>
