He studied at a Drikung monastery and eventually became a master of Phowa, or the “transference of consciousness at the time of death.”This teaching centers on a method for attaining enlightenment after bodily death. All these enlightened energies, blessings, and teachings have been handed down through the great spiritual masters to the present 37th and 36th lineage holders, His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche and His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Chungtsang, from whom Ayang Rinpoche receives his authority to teach.Īyang Rinpoche was born to a nomadic family in Tibet, but as a child he was recognized as a lama by a delegation of important lamas and subsequently raised to assume his role as a teacher. Jigten Sumgon, the recipient of secret oral transmissions from his teacher, Phagmodrupa, composed a set of teachings and instructions for practice, which he in turn passed on to his chief disciple, Gurawa Tsultrim Dorje. The Drikung Kagyu lineage looks to Kyoba Jigten Sumgon, in the middle of the twelfth century c.e., as its founder. He discovered that he could not separate the more secular cultural and political concerns from his presentation of Buddhism, and Buddhism was, for many supporters of the Tibetan cause, Tibet’s most attractive asset. He began traveling in the West in general and the United States in particular in the early 1980s at the request of several Tibetan leaders primarily for the cause of Tibetan culture and the Tibetan peoples now residing outside of their homeland.
