About Us
Before 1959 in Tibet, His Holiness Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje build Rigzin Ghatseling Monastery at Buchcu, in the Kongpo region of Tibet, and established the first Lama Lingpa. There have been so many accomplished masters and great ngakpa and geylong among His Holiness’ disciples. The Dudjom Tersar flourished during that time. After 1959, we lost our freedom and sought refuge in India. During that wandering period as exiles and refugees, His Holiness found it of the utmost importance and necessity to established a monastery to avoid the degeneration of the Buddha doctrine. In order to preserve the Nyingmapa lineage, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama requested Kyabje Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshi Dorje to become the supreme head of the Nyingmapa lineage. Keeping His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s request in his heart, Kyabje Rinpoche decided to build a monastery and chose Orissa to build Dundul Raptenling, with the support of the Odisha government in acquiring the land, and also with the guidance of the Tibetan government in exile.

History
His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche was born in the Wood Dragon year of the 15th Rabjung Cycle (June 10,1904), into a noble family in the southeastern Tibetan province of Pemakod, one of the four “hidden lands” of Guru Rinpoche.
In 1962, Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche appointed Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche as the first President to oversee the internal and external affairs of Dundul Rapenling Monastery.
In 1997, Dungsey Shenphen Dawa Norbu Rinpoche visited Dundul Raptenling Monastery and recruited twenty-two new monks, as the older practitioners from Tibet had gradually passed away.
On the 4th day of the 6th Tibetan month in 1970, Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche received a letter from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the exiled Tibetan government.
