Ayang Tulku Rinpoche
  
Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche belongs to the last generation of teachers to have been fully trained in Tibet in the vast wealth of Vajrayana teachings and methods.

===A Short Biography===
  
After the Communist conquest of Tibet in 1959, Rinpoche went into exile in India and Nepal.

His Eminence K.C. Ayang Rinpoche was born into a nomadic family in eastern Tibet after numerous auspicious signs appeared. He was recognised to be a reincarnate [[Drikung Kagyu]] lama by a delegation of high lama including [[Ayang Drubchen Tenpal Nyinpa]], [[Melong Drubchen]], [[Traleg Kyamgon]], [[Chabdra Rinpoche]] (the tutor Of H.H. the [[Drikung Kyabgon]]), and the [[sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa]].
  
Rinpoche traveled to the United States in 1979. The combination of his warm personality, his depth of knowledge, and his meditative realization magnetized thousands of students. His tireless teachings led him to Europe, Russia, Korea, Hong Kong, Australia, and South America. He resettled in Brazil in 1995 after successfully establishing numerous centers and meditation groups in the United States and other places. In order to maintain his lineage teachings, he ordained a number of his Western students as teachers and gave them specific authorizations to teach.

Following his early education at [[Drikung Thil Changchub Ling]], the main monastery of [[Drikung]], he continued his studies at [[Nyinma Thangra]], the Drikung philosophical college. He received all the initiations of [[Rinchen Terdzo]] and [[Kagyu Nagdzod]] from [[Nyinsum Tripa]], a great Drikung lama. The second tutor of H.H. the [[Drikung Kyabgon]], [[Ayang Thupten]] gave him the teachings of the [[Six Yogas of Naropa]] and Mahamudra. From [[Khenpo Tsense Sangpo]], he received all [[Nyingthig]] initiations and teachings as well as his first [[Phowa]] teaching (this of the Nyingma tradition). He received the [[Upadesha]] from a great Nyingma Yogi, [[Rahor Chodra Rinpoche]].
  
Rinpoche’s work is maintained by [[Chagdud Gonpa Foundation]] in North America, by [[Chagdud Gonpa Brasil]], and by [[Chagdud Gonpa Hispanoamerica]] in Spanish-speaking Latin America. The [[Mahakaruna Foundation]] administers support for [[Chagdud Gonpa]] and associated monasteries in Tibet and Nepal.

After finishing his studies and receiving many teachings he went on pilgrimage in Tibet to many of the holy places of Guru Rinpoche, doing a lengthy retreat at [[Phulung]], where Guru Rinpoche practiced Phowa for a long time. At the end of the retreat, he performed an offering puja which was attended by many naga, who came with offerings and circumambulated his retreat while performing mantras of Guru Rinpoche. Venerable Ayang Rinpoche felt that this was a great sign and felt it might mean that in the future he would be teaching Phowa in foreign countries.

Ayang Tulku Rinpoche

A Short Biography[edit]

His Eminence K.C. Ayang Rinpoche was born into a nomadic family in eastern Tibet after numerous auspicious signs appeared. He was recognised to be a reincarnate Drikung Kagyu lama by a delegation of high lama including Ayang Drubchen Tenpal Nyinpa, Melong Drubchen, Traleg Kyamgon, Chabdra Rinpoche (the tutor Of H.H. the Drikung Kyabgon), and the sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa.
