          Gyalwang Karmapa as a reincarnation of Drubwang Tsoknyi, a renowned
          master of the Drukpa Kagyu and Nyingma traditions. Later he was brought
          up by the great master Khamtrul Rinpoche. Among his other teachers are

          Rmpoche the third is an important lama of both the Drukpa Kagyu and
          Nyingma lineages. He was born in 1966 in Kathmandu, Nepal, to the family
          of the mahasiddha Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, who holds the Tsangsar Family
          Lineage, a special family lineage of tantric yogis which, by tradition,
          originated through the union of a deva and a human. Tsoknyi Rinpoche's
          great great grandfather was the treasure revealer Chokgyur Lingpa and
          Rinpoche has been trained in that family tradition by his father since
          an early age. <br>

          <a name="first"></a>The first Tsoknyi Rinpoche was an emanation of Milarepa's
          disciple, Rechunga, and the Nyingmapa Terton Ratna Lingpa. He was born
          in Nangchen, Eastern Tibet, in the first half of the 19th Century and
          was a contemporary of the three great lamas of the time, Jamyang Khyentse,
          Jamgon Kongtrul, and Chokgyur Lingpa. He fully mastered the practices
          of the Six Dharmas of Naropa and became the principal guru for the 7th
          Khamtrul Rinpoche, Tenpa'i Nyima, in those practices. He also practiced
          the Nyingma tradition of Ratna Lingpa with its special yogas as well
          as his own Nyingmapa practices. He established many centres for the
          practice of the Dharma in Tibet. </p>
        <p class="indextext">The second Tsoknyi Rinpoche was born into the family of
          the King of Nangchen in the first half of this century and received
          the teachings of Naropa from the 7th Khamtrul Rinpoche to whom he had
          transmitted the teachings in his previous incarnation. He was expert
          in in the Six Dharmas of Naropa and Mahamudra as well as his own Nyingmapa
          lineages. </p>

          XVI at the age of eight. When he was thirteen he was brought to Khampagar
          Monastery at Tashi Jong in India, the seat of Khamtrul Rinpoche. Tsoknyi
          Rinpoche's principal teachers have been the 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche, Dongyu
          Nyima, H. H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and his father Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche.
