 Chakung Jigmed Wangdrak Rinpoche is a fourth-generation descendant of the great 19th century Vajrayana master, Traktung Dudjom Lingpa. Rinpoche was born in Golok, Tibet, and was recognized at 15 as the reincarnation of Rigzin Longsel Nyingpo. In addition to his education at Larung Gar Monastery, he received pith Dzogchen instructions and empowerments from Khenchen Jigme Phuntsok Rinpoche, and teachings from Kunzang Wangmo, a deeply revered woman lama in Tibet. Both of these teachers encouraged him to preserve and teach the Dudjom lineage. In Tibet, Rinpoche was responsible for publishing many writings of Dudjom Lingpa, and in 2014, Rinpoche founded The Abhaya Fellowship, a center dedicated to maintaining the Dudjom Tersar lineage. In 2016, Rinpoche opened his East Bay Dharma center, Longsal Ling. Tulku Jigme Wangdruk Rinpoche is highly esteemed and loved by his students and lamas alike, and his instructions are known for their accessibility. TLC is thrilled to have Rinpoche with us, and to receive his instructions on transition.Please click here for full details.
