Düdjom Lingpa

Dudjom Lingpa (1835–1904) was a Tibetan meditation master, spiritual teacher and tertön.He stands out from the norm of Tibetan Buddhist teachers in the sense that he had no formal education, nor did he take ordination as a monk or belong to any established Buddhist school or tradition of his time. Today his teachings and literary works, especially those on Dzogchen, are highly regarded within the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
