The Dzogchen Drubwang incarnations are the heads of Dzogchen Monastery in Derge, one of the six main Nyingma monasteries in Tibet. The line began in the seventeenth century with the treasure revealer Pema Rigdzin, who established the Dzogchen Monastery, which became a center for the Longchen Nyingtik teachings. The fifth incarnation, Tubten Chokyi Dorje, established Dzogchen Monastery’s monastic college, Śrī Siṃha.
