+Namkha Osel was the first in the incarnation line known as the [[Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche]]s, one of two abbots of Dzogchen Monastery in Eastern Tibet. This renowned lama received teachings from both [[Nyingma]] and [[Kagyu]] teachers before meeting his root guru, the [[first Dzogchen Rinpoche]], [[Padma Rigdzin]]. Namkha Ösel was known especially for his mastery of the [[Khandro Nyingthig]] teachings, Heart Essence of the Dakinis. He is said to have given yearly teachings on this topic at the retreat center of [[Dzogchen Monastery]], The Sanctuary of the Great Secret Definitive Meaning ([[gsang chen nges don gling]]).
-"This volume, entitled The Excellent Chariot: A Vehicle for the Path to Liberation—An Instruction Manual on the [[Great Perfection]], [[Heart Essence of the Dakinis]], is a teaching given by the third incarnation of the lord of siddhas [[Pema Rigdzin]], [[Ngeton Tendzin Zangpo]], a guru who was both learned and accomplished. This instruction manual teaches the primary forms of practice and meditation associated with the tradition of [[Dzogchen Gonpa]], a monastery located in the Do-Kham region of Eastern Tibet. In the annals of the tradition, it is said that there have been twenty-eight accomplished gurus from Dzogchen Monastery who attained the [[rainbow body]] by relying solely on this work.
