Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche holds the responsibility of preserving and transmitting the teachings and culture of this spiritual tradition, which is passed on through an unbroken spiritual family succession.
Sakyong” is a Tibetan royal title meaning “earth protector.” This title is held by successive generations of “dharma holders” who are descendants of the legendary king of Ling, Gesar Norbu Dradül.
The lineage of the Sakyongs holds a unique confluence of teaching streams rooted in the three yanas of Shakyamuni Buddha, the tantric teachings of Padmasambhava, the enlightened wisdom of the Rigden Kings of Shambhala, and the warrior teachings of King Gesar of Ling.
