Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche

Chagdud Tulku (T. (lcags mdud sprul sku ལྕགས་མདུད་སྤྲུལ་སྐུ་) (1930–2002) was a Tibetan teacher of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. He was known and respected in the West for his teachings, his melodic chanting voice, his artistry as a sculptor and painter, and his skill as a physician.

Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche was the fourteenth recognized Chagdud incarnation; and his root incarnation was Gyalwa Chokyang. The name Chagdud means 'iron knot', and is said to derive from one Sherab Gyaltsen, the first Chagdud incarnation, who folded an iron sword into a knot with his bare hands.[1]
