Our Teachers
His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche
His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche is one of two heads of the Drikung Kagyu order of
Tibetan Buddhism. Born in 1946 in Lhasa, Tibet, he was recognized at the age of four as the reincarnation
of the previous Drikung Kyabgon and formally enthroned and educated at Drikung Thil, the main monastery of the
Drikung Kagyu order in central Tibet. During the Tibetan exodus in the late 1950s, his parents fled to India
while he remained at Drikung Thil. In 1959, Communist China closed the monastery, and His Holiness Drikung
Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche was adopted by his former tutor, His Eminence Gyabra Rinpoche. After completing
his elementary and middle school education in Lhasa, in 1969 he was assigned to a countryside farm, working
fifteen hours a day doing hard physical labor.
In 1975, His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche crossed the Himalayan border separating Tibet from Nepal on foot and
all alone except for fortuitous help from two strangers at one impassable point. He traveled to Dharamsala,
India, the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile, where he was received by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
and formally enthroned once again.
Then, after eighteen years of separation, His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche was reunited with his family in the
United States. He stayed for several years, completing courses in English and adult education and working after
school at McDonald to practice his English.
In 1978, he returned to India, taking up rigorous Buddhist practice, retreats, and instruction from many of
the greatest living masters of Tibetan Buddhism. In 1985, in Dehra Dun, India, he founded the Drikung Kagyu
Institute, Jang Chub Ling, which provides traditional monastic and modern education to c. 450 monks and nuns;
a meditation retreat center; and a project to collect and preserve all the Drikung Kagyu texts, as well as document
the ways of life, philosophy, and religious traditions of the peoples of the Himalayas.
至尊直貢 澈贊法王是藏傳佛教直貢噶舉派的兩位領袖之一。他於1946年出生於西藏拉薩，四歲時被認定為前任直貢法王的轉世靈童，並在西藏中部直貢噶舉派的主要寺院直貢提寺正式坐床並接受教育。 1950年代末藏人逃亡期間，他的父母逃往印度，而他則留在Drikung Thil。1959年，共產黨中國關閉了該寺， 至尊直貢 澈贊法王被他的前任導師 嘉波仁波切收養。 1969年，他在拉薩完成中小學學業後，被分配到農村農場，每天工作15個小時，從事繁重的體力勞動。
1975年， 至尊直貢 澈贊法王獨自徒步穿越西藏與尼泊爾的喜馬拉雅山邊境，除了在一個無法逾越的地點得到兩個陌生人的偶然幫助外，他是獨自一人。他前往西藏流亡政府所在地印度達蘭薩拉，受到第十四世達賴喇嘛尊者接見並再次正式坐床。
然後，在分離十八年後， 至尊直貢 澈贊法王在美國與家人團聚。他在那裡待了幾年，完成了英語和成人教育課程，並在放學後在麥當勞工作練習英語。
1978年，他返回印度，開始嚴格的佛教修行、閉關，並接受許多在世最偉大的藏傳佛教大師的指導。 1985年，他在印度德拉敦（Dehra Dun）創立了直貢噶舉學院Jang Chub Ling，為現代僧侶提供傳統寺院和現代教育。 450名僧侶和尼姑；冥想靜修中心；以及收集和保存所有直貢噶舉文本以及記錄喜馬拉雅山人民的生活方式、哲學和宗教傳統的項目。
His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche
His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche is a Drikung Kagyu lama who was known in the thirteenth century as the Siddha Gar Chodingpa, a heart disciple of Kyobpa Jigten Sumgon, founder of the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. In ancient India, he had incarnated as Mahasiddha Aryadeva, the lotus-born disciple of the great Nagarjuna. In the seventh century, he was known as Lonpo Gar, the minister of the Tibetan Dharma King Songsten Gampo.
Garchen Rinpoche was recognized and enthroned in eastern Tibet by the former Drikung Kyabgon Zhiwe Lodro.
When he was seven, he was brought to Lho Miyal Monastery, which he administered from the age of eleven.
Studying and practicing under the direction of the Siddha Chime Dorje, Garchen Rinpoche received vast and
profound instructions on the preliminary practices (ngondro), the fivefold practice of Mahamudra and the six yogas
of Naropa.
Then, at the age of 22, after completing a two and a half year retreat, he was imprisoned for 20 years
during the political turmoil of China's Cultural Revolution. While in the labor camp, he received meditation
instruction from his root lama, the Nyingma master Khenpo Munsel. Enduring hardship and practicing secretly,
Garchen Rinpoche attained realization of the lama's wisdom mind. Since his release from prison in 1979,
Garchen Rinpoche has made great effort to rebuild the Drikung Kagyu monasteries, reestablish the Buddhist teachings,
and build two boarding schools for local children in eastern Tibet. Rinpoche is the founder and spiritual director of
the Garchen Buddhist Institute in Chino Valley, Arizona.
Garchen Rinpoche is known for his vast realization, as well as for his great kindness.
尊貴的 噶千仁波切是一位直貢噶舉喇嘛，在十三世紀被稱為悉達噶卻定巴(Siddha Gar Chodingpa)，他是藏傳佛教直貢噶舉傳承創始人 覺巴吉天頌恭(Kyobpa Jigten Sumgon) 的傳承弟子。在古印度，他化身為大成就者 阿耶提婆（Mahasiddha Aryadeva），偉大 龍樹菩薩的蓮花生弟子。西元七世紀，他被稱為隆波噶爾，是西藏法王松贊乾布的大臣。
噶千仁波切在西藏東部得到前直貢至尊智 威羅卓的認可和坐床。當他七歲時，他被帶到洛米亞爾寺，並從十一歲開始管理該寺。在成就者 奇美多傑仁波切的指導下學習和修行， 噶千仁波切接受了有關加行修行（ngondro）、大手印五重修行和那洛巴六瑜伽的廣大而深刻的教授。
然後，22歲時，在完成兩年半的閉關後，他在中國文化大革命的政治動亂中被監禁了20年。在勞動教養所期間，他接受了他的根本喇嘛、寧瑪派上師堪布 孟色的禪修指導。 噶千仁波切歷盡艱辛，秘密修行，證悟了喇嘛的智慧心。 1979年出獄後， 噶千仁波切為重建直貢噶舉寺院、重建佛法、為藏東當地兒童興建兩所寄宿學校做出了巨大的努力。 噶千仁波切是美國亞利桑那州奇諾谷噶千佛學院的創始人和精神導師。
噶千仁波切以其博大的證悟和偉大的仁慈而聞名。
Ven. Lama Thupten Nima
Lama Thupten Nima was born in 1965 into conditions of political turmoil and exile associated with
the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Lama Thupten Nima had the good fortune to receive instruction at
the age of fourteen on the effects of virtuous and harmful actions by the great yogi Tamga, and he
completed the four hundred thousand accumulations of the preliminary practices according to the
Yangzab terma.
His family having long been associated with Gar Monastery prior to the Cultural Revolution, Lama
Thupten Nima made great efforts to travel to the Gar Monastery where he received refuge
ordination from His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche. He then received full monastic ordination and the
bodhisattva vow from the great siddha Karma Norbu, and was admitted to the Gar Monastery.
There, he trained in the ritual practices of the tantras of Old and New Schools and other diverse
religious activities. He was selected for special training by Lho Lungkar Monastery‘s chanting
master, Yong Tar, who was invited to Gar Monstey at the time, including the Eight Heruka Sadhanas,
the Embodiment of the Masters' Realization, Vajrakilaya, and Essence of Great Bliss. He served as
chant master for 3 years and, later, as disciplinarian for 4 years at the Gar monastery.
Thereafter, he received teachings from many of the great living Buddhist masters including
Dzogchen trekchod and thogal from Khenpo Munsel Rinpoche, the entirety of the Drikung Kagyu
protectors and the higher and lower tantra sections from HE Garchen Rinpoche, and received from
Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok his own terma (mind treasure) of the Kilaya cycle of teachings. At Drigung
Thil, he received from Drubpon Tendzin Nyima some of the profound teachings of the Drikung
Kagyu such as the Fivefold Mahamudra. He studied the Gong Chig (Single Intention), Essence of
Mahayana, The Bodhisattva Way of Life, and the Thirty-Seven Bodhisattva Practices with Drigung
Khenpo Namzig. Under the elder Drigung chant master Konchog Samten, he trained in the ritual
practices of Chakrasamvara, Varahi, the Yangzab, Sarvavid and Akshobhya.
Thereafter, HE Garchen Rinpoche entitled him an Vajra Master and asked him to undertake a series
of assignments to help reorganize and reestablish Buddhist practice and monastic discipline in
monasteries throughout the region after, in some cases, a twenty-five year breach in the Buddhist
practice tradition including Lho Miyel Monastery, Khargo Monastery, and later Tseri Monastery in
Sichuan where he reestablished the Great Accomplishment (Drupchen) practice of Yamantaka and
gave other teachings. Then, again at the request of HE Garchen Rinpoche, he served as Lama
(religious teacher and minister) for two years at Tamgo Monastery in Central Tibet, the former
dwelling place of Chung Dorje Dragpa, the fourth lineage holder of the Drikung Kagyu. There, Lama
Thupten Nima established the summer retreat, set up a yearly teaching schedule, and appointed a
chant master, disciplinarian and shrine master.
At Gar Monastery, Lama Thupten Nima took responsibility for instructing the first group of nuns for
tantric retreat at the Fivefold Mahamudra Meditation Center of Gargon Nunnery. He then came to
America to preside over Yamantaka Drupchen Retreat with HE Garchen Rinpoche. He later helped
Garchen Rinpoche to establish Vajrakilaya Drupchen Retreat for the first time in America. For his
contribution to the Dharma, in 2019 H.H Drikung Kyabgon Chestang Rinpoche appointed Lama
Thupten Nima as Vajra Master of the Drikung lineage.
After retiring from the positions of the Resident Retreat Master and Chant Master for the Garchen
Institute in Arizona, he founded the Drikung Rinchen Choling Foundation in Los Angeles, where he
continues to oversee the center as the Resident Lama.
In 2022, Lama Thupten Nima established and took responsibility for Gar Jangchub Cho Ling in
Sacramento. He regularly gives Dharma teachings at these centers, leads group practices, and
presides over Buddhist festival ceremonies. He places special emphasis on organizing major
Yamantaka and Vajrakilaya Drupchens. During large-scale ceremonies at the Garchen Institute,
Lama Thupten Nima also frequently travels there to lead the practices.
喇嘛圖登尼瑪(Lama Thupten Nima) 於1965年出生於因中國文化大革命而引發的政治動盪與流亡環境之中｡十四歲時，蒙大瑜伽士塘嘎 (Tamga) 傳善惡業因果之教誡,並依甚深密續伏藏 (Yangzab Terma) 圓滿修持加行四十萬遍｡
圖登尼瑪喇嘛家族在文化大革命前即與噶爾寺 (Gar Monastery) 有深厚因緣｡ 為求出離與法道，他不辭艱辛前往噶爾寺，親受尊貴的嘎千仁波切 (H.E. Garchen Rinpoche) 傳授皈依法｡又從大成就者嘎瑪諾布尊者 (Karma Norbu) 處，受具足戒與菩薩戒，並正式加入噶爾寺僧團｡
在噶爾寺期間，圖登尼瑪喇嘛研修舊派與新派密續儀軌、誦法與多種法行，並在當時在被請至噶爾寺教學的龍噶寺 (Lho Lungkar Monastery) 維那雍塔處接受甚深密法，如八大法行嘿嚕嘎 (Eight Heruka Sadhanas)、<上師意續> (Embodiment of the Masters’ Realization)、普巴金剛 (Vajrakilaya)、伏藏法 <大樂精華 > (Essence of Great Bliss) 等｡其後，在噶爾寺擔任維那 (chant master) 三年與糾察師 (disciplinarian) 四年，維護了寺內戒律的清淨秩序｡
之後，他親近諸多近代大善知識，廣受教法｡由堪布門色仁波切 (Khenpo Munsel Rinpoche) 處得大圓滿直斷 (Trekchö) 與頓超 (Thögal) 教授；由嘎千仁波切處得全套直貢噶舉護法儀軌與上下續部教法；又從堪布晉美彭措 (Khenpo Jigme Phuntsok) 處得其自現心意伏藏 (mind terma) 金剛橛的教授｡於直貢提寺 (Drigung Thil)，親承住世成就者丹增尼瑪 (Drubpon Tendzin Nyima) 之教授，如<五支大手印> (Fivefold Mahamudra) 等密法要訣｡
又隨直貢堪布南澤 (Khenpo Namzig) 研修<正法一意> (Gong Chig)、<大乘教法精髓> (theg chen bstan pa’i snying po)、<入菩薩行論>、<佛子行三十七頌>諸經典｡並於直貢老維那根秋桑丹 (Konchog Samten) 座下，習得勝樂金剛 (Chakrasamvara)、金剛亥母 (Varahi)、甚深伏藏 (Yangzab)、普明大日如來 (Sarvavid) 與不動佛 (Akshobhya) 等密法｡
爾後，尊貴的嘎千仁波切授予其金剛阿闍梨 (Vajra Master) 之名號，並派遣其前往多處因文化大革命而中斷佛法傳承達二十五年之久的寺院協助恢復僧團與法脈｡其所赴寺院包括南地彌業寺 (Lho Miyel Monastery)、卡果寺 (Khargo Monastery) 等，後又前往四川策日寺 (Tseri Monastery)，重建閻魔敵 (Yamantaka) 竹千大法會 (Drupchen) 等密法修持，並傳授教法｡
再度奉嘎千仁波切之請，他前往西藏那曲塘噶寺 (Tamgo Monastery) 擔任法主(喇嘛)，該寺為直貢噶舉第四代法王秋·多傑扎巴 (Chung Dorje Dragpa) 故居｡在那裡，圖登尼瑪喇嘛創設夏安居 (Varshavasana)，建立年度教法課程，並任命了維那、糾察師與殿堂師｡
其後，在噶爾寺境內，圖登尼瑪喇嘛擔任噶爾貢尼眾禪修中心 (Gargon Nunnery) 之五支大手印閉關中心導師，並指導第一批尼眾修學密法｡ 隨後, 他應嘎千仁波切之邀前往美國，共同主持閻魔敵閉關修法｡嘎千仁波切在圖登尼瑪喇嘛幫助下，在美國舉辦了第一場普巴金剛竹千大法會｡因其對教法的貢獻，至尊直貢澈贊法王於2019年親自委任圖登尼瑪喇嘛為直貢噶舉金剛上師｡
圖登尼瑪喇嘛於亞利桑那州 GBI (Garchen Institute), 曾任駐山閉關導師與維那｡隨後，於美國加州洛杉磯直貢寶法林 (Drikung Rinchen Choling Foundation) 創立後，擔任常住上師，指導日常修行和閉關中心閉關以弘傳直貢噶舉之正法｡ 2022年，創立並負責薩克拉門托 (Sacramento) 噶爾菩提法林 (Gar Jangchub Cho Ling)｡ 圖登尼瑪喇嘛常年於中心開講法宴，帶領信眾共修，主持佛教節日法會，尤其著重組織閻魔敵 (Yamantaka) 和普巴金剛 (Vajrakilaya) 竹千大法會｡在噶爾禪修中心 (Garchen Institute) 舉辦大型法會時，圖登尼瑪喇嘛亦常前往帶領修法｡
