Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche Namkha Osel (rdzogs chen dpon slob rin po che nam mkha' 'od gsal) (? – 1726)
Namkha Osel was the first in the incarnation line known as the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoches, 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).
