Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche[3] was a Tibetan teacher, writer, religious ritual master, and meditation master of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.
Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche has been recognized by the 16th Karmapa as the fourth reincarnation of the 19th-century "treasure-discoverer" (tertön) Chokgyur Lingpa and is a holder of his Chokling Tersar lineage of teachings.[4][5] He was the master of Vajrayana ceremonies at Ka-Nying Shedrup Ling monastery and of several other monasteries in Nepal. He also oversaw monasteries, nunneries, and practice centers in Tibet, India, Bhutan, and Sikkim.[6][7] He published two books.[8][9][10][11][12]
Chokling Rinpoche was the second son of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche,[13][14][15][16]a Tibetan Dzogchen meditation teacher who counted the 16th Karmapa among his students. Hs brothers are Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, Tsoknyi Rinpoche, and Mingyur Rinpoche.[17][18] Like his father, his grandfather and himself, Chokling Rinpoche's two sons have been recognized with the title "Rinpoche" based on their reincarnation lineage: Phakchok Rinpoche, the reincarnation and the lineage holder of the Taklung Kagyu lineage and the reincarnation of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche.[19]
His brother Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, the abbot of Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling, made the announcement that, at 10:12 AM local time on 18 December 2020 in Singapore, Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche "had entered a state of tukdam (Tib: ཐུགས་དམ་)—an advanced meditative state practiced by Buddhist masters during the intermediate post-death period."[1][20] He was additionally survived by his wife and four children.[1]
