There are four schools of Tibetan Buddhism which originated in the country of Tibet. The Nyingma school is the oldest of the four schools and stems from circa 800 A.D. when the master known as Guru Rinpoche came to Tibet and established Samye Monastery there. Numerous reincarnation lineages were created over the next few hundred years as an individual would want to continue the work of his life in a future life by being reincarnated and recognized by his students or teachers and trained again and then continue his work. This is most well known with the monk and political and religious teacher known as the Dalai Lama.
Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche has been recognized by the 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. He is currently the master of Vajrayana ceremonies at Ka-Nying Shedrup Ling monastery and of several other monasteries in Nepal. He also oversees monasteries, nunneries, and practice centers in Tibet, India, Bhutan, and Sikkim. He has published two books.
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, Tibetan Dzogchen meditation teacher to many students, including the 16th Karmapa, is the father of Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche. Chokling Rinpoche's brothers are Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, Tsoknyi Rinpoche, and Mingyur Rinpoche. 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.

Earthquake and Rebuilding
On Saturday, March 25, 2015, Nepal suffered a major earthquake that registered 7.8 on the Richter scale. This was the largest earthquake for at least 80 years. Large and numerous aftershocks by the hundreds followed in the weeks following that earthquake. Many thousands of people died and hundreds of thousands were left homeless and in need of medical care. Under the direction of Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche and Phakchok Rinpoche and senior monks, everyone associated with Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche, his monastery, and his foundation in Nepal have organized to help rebuild Nepal.
