Rigdzin Düddul Dorje
Tertön Rigdzin Düddul Dorje (Wyl. gter ston rig 'dzin bdud 'dul rdo rje) (1615-1672) was a tertön whose main teacher was Jatsön Nyingpo. He was considered as a reincarnation of Drokben Khye'u Chung Lotsawa. After the original Kathok Monastery fell into disrepair, Tertön Rigdzin Düddul Dorje built a new monastery in 1656.
Some of his main students were Lhatsün Namkha Jikmé, Longsal Nyingpo and Dzogchen Pema Rigdzin.
