The Beru Khyentse Lineage
The 1st Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820–1892) was an important illuminator of Buddhism in Tibet. He propagated the Dharma impartially to all.
Several reincarnations or emanations of Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo, including those of body, speech, mind, qualities and activity, were recognized in Tibet. The person recognised as the speech emanation became the 1st Beru Khyentse (1896–1945) Karma Jamyang Khyentse Özer, son of the King of Beru Gönpo Düdul in Kham (eastern Tibet). He was later enthroned at Palpung Monastery, which would become the seat for all his activities. 1st Beru Khyentse had many non-sectarian disciples from Sakya, Gelug, Kagyu and Nyingma traditions. Some from the Kagyu school were the 15th Karmapa (he was both his Guru as well as his disciple), 16th Karmapa, Nenang Pawo Rinpoche, Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche, Khandro Orgyen Tsomo (consort of the 15th Karmapa).

Famous quotes containing the word lineage:
“I declare
Two lineages electrify the air,
That will like pennons from a mast
Fly over sleep and life and death
Till sun is powerless to decoy
A single seed above the earth:
Lineage of sorrow: lineage of joy....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
