'''Dawa Chödak Rinpoche''', or '''Dawa Chhodak Rinpoche''' is a senior student of [[Dudjom Rinpoche]], [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] and of [[Kunzang Dorje Rinpoche]]. Lama Dawa has perfected the [[siddhi]]s to do the Divine Mirror Divination (Ta) practice. Through this practice, he has been able to benefit countless individuals with his abilities to see the past, present and future.

==Birth and Family==
He was born on [[Guru Rinpoche]]’s day near Mukhti Narayan, a sacred pilgrimage spot in Northern Nepal. After his birth, he was taken to the great [[mahasiddha]] Golok Sertong Rinpoche, who recognized him as the reincarnation of Nakchu Gelong Konchok, a siddha who left handprints in the caves of [[Mount Kailash]]. Golok Sertong Rinpoche made many auspicious predictions and named him Dawa Chödak, in honor of the great Buddhist masters, [[Chandrakirti]] and [[Dharmakirti]]. 

==Training==
Dawa Chhodak Rinpoche was raised in his father’s monastery in Dolpo, a remote region on the border of Tibet and Nepal. His father, Kathak Rigzin Dorje Rinpoche, a yogin from the [[Taklung Kagyü]] lineage, began Lama Dawa’s religious education at an early age in the traditional manner. In 1960 Dawa Chödak Rinpoche and his family relocated to Northern India where they met Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche. From the age of thirteen, he began his studies, training and practices in the [[Dudjom Tersar]] lineage under Dudjom Rinpoche. From him, he received the [[empowerment]]s and transmissions of the [[Rinchen Terdzö]], the [[Nyingma Gyübum]], Nyingma [[Kama]], as well as the [[Dudjom Tersar]]. Lama Dawa completed many retreats under the guidance of Dudjom Rinpoche and became one of Dudjom Rinpoche’s heart disciples, receiving all the outer, inner and sacred transmissions and oral instructions.
