Item Description

Chatral Sangye Dorje Rinpoche (June 18, 1913 - December 30, 2015) was a Dzogchen master and a reclusive yogi known for his great realization and strict discipline. Rinpoche was one of the few living disciples of Khenpo Ngawang Pelzang and was widely regarded as one of the most highly realized Dzogchen yogis. In addition to his relationship with Khenpo Ngagchung, Chatral Sangye Dorje also studied with some of the last century's most renowned masters, including Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, Dzongsar Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö, and the famed dakini Kunzang Dekyong Wangmo. Rinpoche was one of the primary lineage holders of the Longchen Nyingthig, and in particular the lineage that descends through Jigme Lingpa's heart son Jigme Gyalwe Nyugu and then on to Patrul Rinpoche.

Lama Tharchin Rinpoche (1936–July 22, 2013) was a Tibetan Dzogchen master in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. He was tenth holder of the family lineage known as the Repkong Ngakpas. 

Tharchin Rinpoche was born in southern Tibet in the region of Kongpo. He trained with Nyingma master Dudjom Rinpoche, head of the Nyingma school, at his monastery in Kongpo, Lamaling Monastery. He completed both a five-year and three-year retreat. His other teachers included Chatral Rinpoche, Thinley Norbu Rinpoche, and Sherab Dorje Rinpoche. In 1984 he moved to the United States and, after being asked by his teacher Dudjom Rinpoche to teach, founded the Vajrayana Foundation and began to teach Tibetan Buddhist dharma in America, where he established a retreat center in Northern California.
