The Treasury of Lives

The Kondor line is a Geluk incarnation line dating from the sixteenth century and based at Chamdo Jampaling. It originated when the Second Kondor Tulku, Jewon Konchok Dorje, was identified as the reincarnation of Khedrub Shākya Lhawang, an abbot of Tashi Pende Monastery in Nyangpo. The Kondor line has had strong connections -- and often blood relations -- with the Zhiwa Lha and Pakpa Lha lines, the presiding lamas of Chamdo Jampaling.
