Dudjom Rinpoche is a great saint and Vidyadhara of the Nyingma School of
Tibetan Buddhism, and is considered by the Tibetan community as the personal
representative of Guru Rinpoche, the second Buddha of our time. Rinpoche's eighteenth
manifestation was Jigdral Yeshe Dorje (A.D. 1904-1987), who was considered an
outstanding yogin, scholar, and meditation master in contemporary time. The
present Yangsi Rinpoche is the nineteenth manifestation, known as Pema Osel,
or simply as Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche The Third.
