ལྷ་བཙུན་ནམ་མཁའ་འཇིགས་མེད་
Lhatsun Namkha Jikme(1597 - 1650)
Lhatsun Namkha Jikme was an important conduit of the Dzogchen teachings who was considered to be the combined emanation of Vimalamitra and Longchenpa. He is credited with the "opening" of the hidden land of Sikkim and was instrumental in the establishment of the royal dynasty of this Himalayan kingdom. He was a student of two of the most influential treasure-revealers of his day, Jatsön Nyingpo and Dudul Dorje, though he is perhaps best known for his own pure vision cycle the Rtsa gsum rig 'dzin srog sgrub. The mountain smoke offering from this cycle has become extremely widespread, especially in the West due to its propagation by Dudjom Rinpoche and his students.
