Taiwanese Drikung teacher split from Drikung Order?

Post by mahabuddha »

Does anyone know why His Eminence Vajra Guru Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche split from the Drikung Kagyu Order worldwide? He is located in Taiwan.

Thank you kindly,

I'm confused. Is there more than one Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche among Drikung Kagyu? I am familiar with this one...

Yes they are different.

Drupon Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche is a yogi and amazing teacher that lives in Chicago!

HE Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche lives in Taiwan and I remember looking at his page and then just saw an announcement that is old...that he split from Drikung Worldwide Order. Just wondering if anyone knows why?

Thanks.

What does it mean to be a "root disciple?"
དམ་པའི་དོན་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ཆེ་བ་དང་།
རྟོག་གེའི་ཡུལ་མིན་བླ་མའི་བྱིན་རླབས་དང་།
སྐལ་ལྡན་ལས་འཕྲོ་ཅན་གྱིས་རྟོགས་པ་སྟེ།
དེ་ནི་ཤེས་རབ་ལ་ནི་ལོ་རྟོག་སེལ།།


"Absolute Truth is not an object of analytical discourse or great discriminating wisdom,
It is realized through the blessing grace of the Guru and fortunate Karmic potential.
Like this, mistaken ideas of discriminating wisdom are clarified."

There are so many phony self appointed drikung tulkus and lamas from Taiwan. I think HH's office has been more vocal in Taiwan about calling out liars. So these guys need a new phony authority to prop up their sham.

As far as I can tell, Rinchen Dorjee Rinpoche is still on good terms with HH Drikung Chetsang, and has not left the Drinkung Kagyu order. I think the split is talking more about logistics, since Glorious Jewel appears to have been a major co-sponsor for Drikung events internationally. Now, I think they are saying they will no longer sponsor events outside of their own organisation.

Drikung Kagyu have a strong presence in Taiwan. So there's no logistic problem. He could participate in everything they do there. He's in his own bc he is...

I guess the "logistics" part makes sense, maybe they could word it a bit differently or maybe I just read it wrong.

Well as far as I can tell, he is still on good terms with HH Drikung Chetsang, so it's hard to say that he's an inauthentic lama. Plus, what you mention is precisely the logistical problem I'm talking about, problems with money and power, because he definitely seems to have been a major sponsor in Drikung circles.

Glorious Jewel is the organisation of the lama in question. They also seem to have a commercial branch that operates several businesses.
