Guardians of the Vajrayana Lineage
The Vajra Masters of Dundul Raptenling Monastery embody the living transmission of the Dudjom Tersar lineage. Through their realization, devotion, and lifelong dedication to the Dharma, they have preserved the sacred teachings, rituals, empowerments, and practices passed down from Guru Padmasambhava through generations of enlightened masters. As spiritual guides, they serve not only as teachers and lineage holders, but also as guardians of the monastery’s sacred vision—ensuring that the wisdom and blessings of the Vajrayana continue to flourish for future generations.
