Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism is a living lineal transmission of sutric and tantric approaches to awakening. It originated in 8th century Tibet with the supreme master Padmasambhava and his twenty-five disciples.

Jnanasukha Foundation is rooted in the Nyingma or Ancient Transmission that lives in our times through these three masters:

  • His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, Jigdral Yeshe Dorje (1904-1986)

    Rinpoche was the re-birth of Dudjom Lingpa, one of the greatest scholars and treasure-revealing masters in the Nyingma tradition. His own writings and revelations are highly regarded as a crown jewel of contemporary vajrayana. Dudjom Rinpoche lived in Tibet, Nepal, India, Europe, and the USA. In 1928 he revealed his mind treasure, Khandro Thuktik, The Dakini Heart Essence Cycle of Yeshe Tsogyal, the scriptural basis of Jnanasukha Foundation.

  • Dungse Thinley Norbu Rinpoche (1931-2011)

    Rinpoche was the eldest son of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche. Recognized as an incarnation of Tulku Trimé Özer, one of Dudjom Lingpa son's, he was also an emanation of Longchenpa. In 1990, Rinpoche advised Lama Dechen Yeshe Wangmo to focus her path and teaching activities on The Dakini Heart Essence.

  • Repkong Lama Tsedrup Tharchin Rinpoche (1936-2013)

    Rinpoche was the tenth generation descendant of Palchen Namkha Jigme (1757-1821), founder of Kyunglung and the 1900 Ngakpa Group in Amdo, Tibet.

    Rinpoche received the lineage through his grandfather, Wöntsang Druk-gyal, and then his father, Lama Chimé Dorje. Born in Kongpo, southern Tibet, Rinpoche studied with His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche in Tibet and India. In 1984, he settled in the USA and established Vajrayana Foundation and Pema Osel Ling in California.
