Dampa Rinpoche, Guru of H.H. Sakya Trizin and Jetsun Kushok-La

H.H. Sakya Trizin: "Khangsar Ladrang was an abbot of Ngor Monastery. He was a Sakya lineage holder. His successor was Ngawang Lodro Nyingpo, famous for his spiritual powers. His main practice was Vajrakilaya. Reportedly he exorcised many demons from people with these powers.

His successor and lineage holder was Ngawang Lodro Zhenpen Nyingpo, who is my ultimate personal teacher, the possessor of all the buddha families and a master who had power over everything. He was Vajradhara. He is best known as Dorje Chang Rinpoche Dampa. He is one of my (and Jetsun Kushok-la's) root gurus. There is a saying about the root gurus, and gurus that one has a karmic relationship with, which says that even if you have a hundred towering and accomplished gurus, there is only one which is found in the heart. Dampa Rinpoche is my heart guru. In this present era he is known as the last remaining lighthouse, who actually reached the highest stage of enlightenment while within human form. He is one of the most highly realized beings to have appeared in this tradition to transmit these teachings. My grandfather, Dakshul Thinley Rinchen (who was a Sakya Trizin), had the highest respect for Dampa Rinpoche and received from him many teachings and instructions, as well as my father, and the heads of the Khangsar and Phuntsok Phodrang palaces, and the father of Dakchen Rinpoche, Ngawang Thutop Wangchuk, and the two Rinpoches within the Phuntsok Palace: Dakchen Jigdral Rinpoche and Thinley Rinpoche. All were his disciples, as well as eminent masters of Ngor.

Another main disciple was His Eminence Chogye Trichen Rinpoche. All the recent and current lineage holders within Sakya, Ngor and Tsharpa enjoyed the ambrosia of the teachings spoken by the great Vajradhara Dampa Rinpoche. There are few biographical details concerning his life, because he lived in a very reclusive way (in caves). We know neither his date of birth, nor when he died."
