Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche[3] was a teacher, writer, religious ritual master, and meditation master of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.

Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche has been recognized by the

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

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

thukdam (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]

Activities

Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche, through his foundation, The Chokgyur Lingpa Foundation, supports both many different projects including religious, humanitarian, and educational projects through the Monastic Education Fund. The healthcare projects are aimed at providing treatments throughout Nepal where needed, as well as longer-term healthcare improvement, through the Vajra Varahi Healthcare Clinic, the annual Dental and Medical Camps.[21] The Foundation hosts publication teams through Lhasey Lotsawa Translations & Publications, a growing team of translators.[22] Committed to making more of the Dharma accessible to fellow students worldwide, the mission is to produce authentic and accessible translations in many languages.

The Chokgyur Lingpa Foundation is also building Zangdok Palri (a model of Padmasambhava's pure land, Copper-Colored Mountain) in Vajravarahi, outside Kathmandu, Nepal. The Chokgyur Lingpa Foundation has a growing number of organizations around the world as well as students in many countries, more than fifty, including Malaysia, United States, Poland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Austria, Scotland, Great Britain and Israel.[23] Chokling Rinpoche was on the board of the non-profit organization Rangjung Yeshe Shenpen, also based in Nepal.[24]

Earthquake and Rebuilding

On Saturday, 25 April 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[25][26] and senior monks, everyone associated with Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche, his monastery, and his foundation in Nepal have organized to help rebuild Nepal.[27][28][29][30][31]
