'''Longchenpa''' ([[klong chen pa]]) 1308-1364

Longchen Rabjam, whose name means "great expanse," was the reincarnation of [[Princess Pemasal]], the daughter of [[King Trisong Deutsen]] and direct student of [[Guru Rinpoche]]. His birth in the Tra Valley of Southern Tibet was accompanied by miraculous events and auspicious omens. He began his Dharma training at the age of seven, when he received empowerments and teachings from his father, a tantric yogi. At twelve, he took novice monastic vows at [[Samye|Samye monastery]].

[[Longchenpa]] studied and practiced teachings from a variety of lineages and masters. He received and mastered so many teachings, in fact, that he became known as Samye Lungmangwa, the One of Samye with Many Transmissions. Though he is associated primarily with the [[Nyingma lineage]], he also studied many teachings of the [[Sarma]], or [[New Schools]], including the [[Kalachakratantra]], [[Chöd]], and the [[Path and Result]] teachings of the [[Sakya]] lineage. He shared a particularly close relationship with the third Karmapa, [[Rangjung Dorje]], with whom he studied under the Dzogchen master [[Rigdzin Kumaraja]].

Rigdzin Kumaraja was [[Longchenpa]]'s most important master. He lived with him for two years, practicing the Dzogchen teachings of the [[Heart Essence of Vimalamitra]] under extremely harsh conditions. Rigdzin Kumaraja eventually empowered [[Longchenpa]] as the lineage holder for these teachings. [[Longchenpa]] also reawakened a connection with the [[Heart Essence of the Dakinis]], the Dzogchen lineage of [[Guru Rinpoche]], and practiced these teachings for years in isolated mountain retreats.

[[Longchenpa|Longchen Rabjam]]'s influence upon the [[Nyingma]] lineage is unparalleled. He united and compiled teachings concerning the two main Dzogchen Heart Essence lineages in a work entitled [[Four Volumes of the Heart Essence]], adding three commentaries of his own to the teachings of [[Guru Rinpoche]] and [[Vimalamitra]]. He also wrote the famed Seven Treasuries, texts that present various aspects of the view, meditation, and conduct of the Nyingma school's [[nine vehicles]].

[[Longchenpa]] passed away at the age of fifty-six. He left over two hundred and fifty treatises behind, many of which are still regarded as the most comprehensive and authoritative works yet written concerning the view and practice of the Great Perfection. His most important students include the [[3rd Karmapa]], Rangjung Dorjé, with whom he exchanged teachings, Özer Kocha, and his son, Tülku Trakpa Özer.

Lerab Lingpa Tertön Sogyal

Aspearcey: /* External Links */

[[Image:Terton_Sogyal.JPG|frame|]] '''Tertön Sogyal Lerab Lingpa''' ([[gter ston bsod rgyal las rab gling pa]] 1856-1926). The great tertön Lerab Lingpa Trinlé Thayé Tsal, or '''Tertön Sogyal''', was the body emanation of [[Nanam Dorje Dudjom]], the speech emanation of [[Vajravarahi]] and the mind emanation of [[Guru Padmasambhava]]. He was born in the year of the Fire Dragon of the fourteenth calendrical cycle (1856) in Upper Nyarong in Kham.
He quickly learned to read and write, and received teachings from [[Nyala Pema Duddul]] and from [[Patrul Rinpoche]] and [[Khenpo Pema Vajra]] at [[Dzogchen Monastery]].

From the age of 13 to 18, he stayed in retreat. During this time he saw many things directly through the power of his clairvoyance. Whilst in retreat, he deciphered a terma in the coded script of [[Yeshe Tsogyal]]. After the retreat, he travelled to [[Kathok]] with [[Lama Sonam Thayé]] and others and received empowerments from Tenpé Gyaltsen and other transmissions from [[Kathok Getsé Tulku]]. Later he went to Dzahka Sangak Rabten Ling and received instructions on the preliminaries and main practice of Longsal Nyingpo from Choktrul Rinpoche Kunzang Namgyal. He then went to receive instruction on the [[Longchen Nyingthig]] from Patrul Rinpoche’s disciple, [[Nyoshul Lungtok Tenpé Nyima]]. Later, he received detailed teachings on the [[Guhyagarbha Tantra]] from [[Mipham Rinpoche]] for a period of several months.

In the Male Earth Mouse year (1888), he met the [[Thirteenth Dalai Lama]] for the first time in Lhasa. They went on to meet several more times, and the Dalai Lama became one of his main students and Dharma heirs. In 1895 he revealed the terma of Yang Nying Pudri together with [[Jamgon Kongtrul]]. In time, this [[Vajrakilaya]] practice became one of the regular practices of the Dalai Lama’s own monastery, Namgyal, and His Holiness composed a manual for practising it as a drupchen.

He returned to Lhasa several more times in the following years, and travelled widely, revealing more termas including [[Tendrel Nyesel]], 'Dispelling Flaws in Interdependence', which became one of the most widely practised among his revelations.

In the year of the Wood Mouse (1924) he offered the remainder of his termas to [[Dodrupchen Jikme Tenpe Nyima]]. At the end of their meeting the two masters exchanged white scarves, something they had never done before, and then each said, “I will see you again in the pure land.”

During the Wood Ox (1925), he re-concealed all those termas which remained incomplete and made aspirations to meet with them again in future. Finally, the great tertön displayed the signs of passing into nirvana on the tenth day of the first month of the year of the Fire Tiger (1926).

He was one of the most prolific tertöns in history, his collected terma revelations filling almost twenty volumes. Several of his original written works, most notably his commentary on the [[Chetsun Nyingthig]], have also survived.

2006-11-10T17:47:34Z

Aspearcey: /* Main Students */

----
Recognized as a tulku of Minling Terchen, Gyalse Shenpen Thaye, the first Kushok Gemong Rinpoche, received teachings from the fourth Dzogchen Rinpoche, Dodrupchen, Jigme Gyalwe Nyuku, Dola Jigme Kalzang and others. After Dzogchen Monastery suffered catastrophic destruction in an earthquake, the first Kushok Gemong Rinpoche helped rebuild the monastery.

Gyalse Shenpen Thaye was a principal in the establishment of the Shri Singha monastic university at Dzogchen. According to the histories, the first Kushok Gemong Rinpoche intended to establish a great monastic university and traveled through Tibet looking for an appropriate location. While in the Dzogchen region, he passed an Indian yogi sitting on a rock, who was no longer to be found when he later returned to that rock. Gemong Rinpoche then realized that the appearance of the yogi had been a sign from the great Vidyadhara Shri Singha as to an auspicious location for the shedra. Therefore, he named the monastic college after Shri Singha.

The above was not the only auspicious incident surrounding the academy. The histories also record that when the first Kushok Gemong Rinpoche was considering which master to invite to give the blessings at the groundbreaking ceremony of Shri Singha, a great yogi of the time, Do Khyentse Yeshe Dorje, appeared suddenly and blessed a spot with his dagger. The institution was built on that spot, which is on the left-hand side of the valley of Dzogchen Monastery.

The Shri Singha shedra was became one of the leading Nyingma educational institutions and served as a model for many other Nyingma monasteries.

One of the greatest Nyingma monastic reformers of the nineteenth century, he established vinaya, monastic discipline, as a daily discipline and incorporated the Yarne retreats (rainy season) into the program of the monastery.

Gyalse Shenpen Thaye created a collection of the kama teachings of the Nyingma tradition at the request of Sangye Kunga, the seventh throne-holder of Mindroling, and Paltrul Pema Wangyal. He went on to initiate the practices of the thirteen kama sadhanas in monastic assemblies in Dzogchen Monastery, a tradition that was taken up by many other monasteries in the area. Dzogchen Monastery still continues this tradition of kama lineage practices of tantric mandalas.

His students included Khenchen Pema Dorje, Paltrul Rinpoche, and Do Khyentse.

Members of the Kushok Gemong Rinpoche line from that time became the third of the three Abbots of Dzogchen Monastery, sharing responsibility for administering Dzogchen, and particularly taking responsibility for the Shri Singha monastic university. Under the guidance of the Gemong Rinpoches, Shri Singha monastic university grew into one of the most prestigious academies in Tibet.

Recognized as a tulku of Minling Terchen, Gyalse Shenpen Thaye, the first Kushok Gemong Rinpoche, received teachings from the fourth Dzogchen Rinpoche, Dodrupchen, Jigme Gyalwe Nyuku, Dola Jigme Kalzang and others. After Dzogchen Monastery suffered catastrophic destruction in an earthquake, the first Kushok Gemong Rinpoche helped rebuild the monastery.

Gyalse Shenpen Thaye was a principal in the establishment of the Shri Singha monastic university at Dzogchen. According to the histories, the first Kushok Gemong Rinpoche intended to establish a great monastic university and traveled through Tibet looking for an appropriate location. While in the Dzogchen region, he passed an Indian yogi sitting on a rock, who was no longer to be found when he later returned to that rock. Gemong Rinpoche then realized that the appearance of the yogi had been a sign from the great Vidyadhara Shri Singha as to an auspicious location for the shedra. Therefore, he named the monastic college after Shri Singha.

The above was not the only auspicious incident surrounding the academy. The histories also record that when the first Kushok Gemong Rinpoche was considering which master to invite to give the blessings at the groundbreaking ceremony of Shri Singha, a great yogi of the time, Do Khyentse Yeshe Dorje, appeared suddenly and blessed a spot with his dagger. The institution was built on that spot, which is on the left-hand side of the valley of Dzogchen Monastery.
