The Riwoche lineage has its roots in the great 12th-century Master, [[Taklung Tangpa]], the founder of the [[Taklung Kagyu]] lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. The Riwoche lineage also fully integrates the [[Nyingma]] teachings descended from the great 9th-century Master, [[Padmasambhava]].
 
==Monastery in Kham==
The Riwoche lineage has an 800 year history. The original [[Riwoche Monastery]] in the Riwoche region of Kham in eastern Tibet was home to 1,000 monks. Famous for its teaching and practice, its history is filled with many wondrous and miraculous events.
 
==Lineage holders==
Today, the lineage is represented by His Holiness [[Phakchok Rinpoche]] in Nepal, the 7th incarnation of the Phakchok tulkus (reincarnate lamas). The Riwoche lineage is also transmitted in unbroken succession from teacher to disciple through Venerable [[Khenpo Sonam Rinpoche]] in Toronto, and through a handful of other lamas throughout the world.
