| The first Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche is said to have been an emanation of, among others, the great yogis Repa Shiwa Ö (Twelfth Century C.E.) and Melong Dorje (1243-1303). The former was one of the eight heart sons of Milarepa. He worked together with the [[1st Dzogchen Rinpoche]], Pema Rigdzin, to establish [[Dzogchen Monastery]] in 1685. After the death of the latter, the [[1st Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche]] then became abbot of [[Dzogchen Monastery]]. Since that time, the succesive [[Dzogchen Rinpoche]]s have been the abbots of [[Dzogchen Monastery]] along with members of the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche line, and members of the [[Kushok Gemong Rinpoche]] line.
