Golden Kathok Nyingma Lineage
The Kathok Nyingma Lineage is analogic
to the essence of the refinest of gold. In the centuries
of Kathok's history, there have been a total of 123 accomplished
masters from the time of the Kathok Great founder Tampa
Deshek to:

the 80th Throne-holder Kathok
Tai Situ Chokyi Gyaltsen Rinpoche, Situ Rinpoche's students,
include the great Khenpo Lei Xia Deng, Jamyang Khyentse
Chokyi Lodro Rinpoche, Geze Rinpoche, Deng Be Namjia
Rinpoche, great Khenpo Gyaltsen Ozer and other great
masters.
From the great Khenpo Gyaltsen Ozer Rinpoche,
the Holy Throne-holder of Kathok was passed on to Mocha
Rinpoche and Dimed Shing Kyong Rinpoche, the 83rd Throne-holder
of Kathok.
Now, the glorious seat of the Kathok Nyingma
Lineage is occupied by the H.H. Lhoga Rinpoche as the 84th
Supreme Throne-holder of Kathok.
From the great Guru Padmasambhava, the
H.H. Lhoga Rinpoche would be considered as the 99th Absolute
Lineage-holder of the Nyingma Tradition.

However, owing to
the great number of affiliated monasteries of Kathok, it
is virtually impossible to list out of all the great masters.
Nevertheless, accomplished prominent masters
of Kathok who propagated the Dharma overseas are as follows:
..Chadral
Rinpoche
..Bairo Tulku Rinpoche
(the younger
brother of H.H. the Mocha Rinpoche; the father of the present
H.H. Gyalwang Drukchen Rinpoche, the supreme head of the
Drukpa Kagyu Tradition)
..Kathok
Tai Situ Rinpoche
..Weng
Chu Rinpoche
..Yanpan Sherap Gyaltsen
(Karma) Rinpoche

Holder, - previous life was Xire Jiangcan, one of the 3
Immediate Enlightened Ones.)
..Chagdud
Tulku Rinpoche ..
Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche
..
Wei Yin Tulku and other
likewise noble masters.

Kathok Monastery at present
For hundreds of years, the Kathok Nyingmapas
had monasteries all over Tibet, Bhutan, India, Sikim, Mongolia
as well as China. During the ancient times, there were over 300
monasteries but many were in ruins.
|
However, thanks to diligent reconstruction efforts in recent
years, there are now a total of 130 monasteries still existing.
The great Khenpo Gyaltsen Ozer; Mocha Rinpoche; Kyong Jung
Rinpoche as well as H.H. Lhoga Rinpoche have been incessantly
working hard to revive the once extremely vibrant Kathok
Tradition. They rebuild many Kathok holy temples, monasteries,
Buddhist colleges and meditation retreat centers.
In particular, they oversee the reconstruction of the magnificently
spectacular holy mandala of the Auspicious Copper-Coloured
Mountain, the Pure-land of Padmasambhava, so that it would
once again be a holy place for everyone everywhere.
