Chogyur Lingpa, alias Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa (mchog gyur gling pa) 1829-1870. A terma treasure revealer and contemporary of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Jamgön Kongtrül. Regarded as one of the major tertöns in Tibetan history, his termas are widely practiced by both the Kagyü and Nyingma schools. For more details see Orgyen Tobgyal Rinpoche's The Life and Teachings of Chokgyur Lingpa, Rangjung Yeshe Publications. Disambiguation: Termas are key Tibetan Buddhist texts. ... Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820-1892) was a renowned teacher, scholar and tertön (treasure discoverer) of 19th century Tibet. ... The Kagyu (Wylie transliteration: Bka brgyud/Bka-brgyud) school (known as the Oral Lineage and the Spotless Practice Lineage school) is one of four major schools (Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya and Gelug) of tibetan buddhism (vajrayana). ... The Nyingma tradition is the oldest of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism (the other three being Kagyu, Sakya and Gelug). ...
The Nyingthig Yabshi and the Longchen Nyingthig are known, respectively, as the earlier and later "heart essence." The Longchen Nyingthig became both the foundation of the main Dzogchen teachings in the contemporary period and of the Rime movement.
Jigme Lingpa's teaching lineage flourished in Kham (eastern Tibet) around Dege, and after his death three incarnations were recognised as being his emanations: Do Khyentse (1800?-1859?), Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, (1820-1892) and Patrul Rinpoche, (1808-1887), all of whom were central to the Rime movement.
It is the assemblage of thousands of rare terma texts from all across Tibet by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye, and Chogyur Dechen Lingpa in the 19th century.
Supporters of Urgyen Trinley Dorje claim that his birth and parentage are consistent with the prediction by ChogyurLingpa, who, it is claimed, had prophetic visions of various events in the lives of the 14th through the 21st Karmapas.
This claim may sound odd at the first moment, but it is actually supported by ChogyurLingpa's life story, where he explains exactly this, namely that one Karmapa died too early to be enthroned, and that as to ChogyurLingpa's view, he needs to be included when enlisting the Karmapas.
As ChogyurLingpa is also the source of the prediction, this is indeed a proper argument.
