Dola Tulku Jigme Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche is a son of Dudjom Rinpoche and Sangyum Kusho Tseten Yudron, and a younger brother of Thinley Norbu Rinpoche. Dola Tulku Jigme Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche is mainly from the Sakya lineage, and stayed in Tibet when the Chinese invaded in the 1950's.

He is also the father of Dudjom Sangye Pema Zhepa Rinpoche, one of the incarnations of his father Dudjom Rinpoche. According to oral stories of the lineage, this fulfills a promise made by Dudjom Rinpoche to his son before leaving Tibet, saying to him that they would meet again in the future. As Dudjom Rinpoche was unable to come back to Tibet, he reincarnated within his own son's family.
