The present '''Dzigar Kongtrul''', Jigme Namgyel, was born in Northern India, just before his father, the third [[Neten Chokling Rinpoche]], established the Tibetan community settlement of Bir. When Rinpoche was nine years old, his father Chokling Rinpoche passed away. Soon after this His Holiness [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] recognized him as an emanation of Jamgön Kongtrül the Great and His Holiness the [[16th Karmapa]] confirmed this. He was soon enthroned at [[Chokling Gompa]] in Bir.
Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche moved to the United States in 1989 with his family and began a five-year tenure as a professor of Buddhist philosophy at [[Naropa University]] (then Institute) in 1990. Not long after arriving in the United States, Rinpoche founded [[Mangala Shri Bhuti]], an organization established to further the practice of the [[Longchen Nyingtik]] lineage. He established a mountain retreat center, [[Longchen Jigme Samten Ling]], in southern Colorado, where he spends much of his time in retreat and guides students in long-term retreat practice.
