Tertön Rangrik Dorje

Tertön Rangrik Dorje (gter ston rang rig rdo rje) aka Kusum Lingpa (1847-1903) - an important master from Nyarong, who was associated with the monastery of Lumorab. He was a disciple of Nyala Pema Düddul (1817-1872) and the master of Nyala Changchub Dorje. His collected terma revelations were recently published in 42 volumes.

Dudjom Rinpoche wrote:

"It is impossible, too, to enumerate all those who passed into the rainbow body by the paths of the profound treasures of the Great Perfection, as exemplified by the Southern and Northern Treasures tradition. Even during this late age, this may still be illustrated. For example, in 1883/84 (water sheep year, fifteenth cycle) the lord among accomplished masters, Rigdzin Pema Duddül, vanished in the body of light. Afterwards, when his personal disciple, Tertön Rangrik Dojre passed away at Mindroling, his remains vanished into light. What was left behind, which was about six inches in size, was taken to Lumorab in Eastern Tibet, where it can still be seen today."
