| | Bhakha Rinpoche |
 | | The Bhakha Tulkus have been considered incarnations of Dorje Lingpa, the Great terton of the East (who was considered an emanation of one of Tibet's preeminent translators and Dzogchen masters, Vairotsana), the Great Terton of the West, Pema Lingpa as well as the Great Terton of the indeterminate direction, Shikpo Lingpa. |
 | | Pema Lingpa gave his son the aural transmission, treasure teachings (kama and terma), the pure vision lineages of the old translation tradition, and in particular, the complete Dharma cycles of Pema Lingpa: the empowerments, teachings, and special instructions. |
 | | Later, the Eighth Pema Lingpa, Kunzang Tenpai Nyima, became the seventh Bhakha Rinpoche's disciple, and received from this master the old translation tantras (the Nyingma Gyud Bum); the Seven Treasures of Longchenpa; the Trilogy of Ease (Ngalso Korsum); the Whispered Lineage of Thangtong Gyalpo; and the teachings of Guru Chowang and Pema Ledrel Tsal. |
