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 Rinpoches have been the abbots of Dzogchen Monastery along with members of the Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche line, and members of the Kushok Gemong Rinpoche line.
The current Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche was born in Sikkim, Northern India and was raised from a young age by His Holiness the 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rikpey Dorje. As a heart son of the Karmapa, he is one of the highest ranking lineage holders of the Karma Kagyu tradition. He is also a highly esteemed Nyingma master who received many of the Nyingma tranmissions from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, and others.
Ponlop Rinpoche graduated from Shri Nalanda, the shedra of Rumtek Monastery, and is widely recognized of one of the most brilliant scholars of his generation. In addition, he is also an acknowledged meditation master, poet and artist.
He currently resides in Seattle, USA, where he directs the Nalandabodhi sangha and a yearly shedra program, Nitartha Institute, which takes place in Canada.
