'''Rangjung Dorje''' (Tib. རང་བྱུང་རྡོ་རྗེ་, [[Wyl.]] ''rang byung rdo rje''), the '''Third [[Karmapa]]''' (1284-1339), was recognized at the age of five as the reincarnation of the [[Karma Pakshi|previous Karmapa]] by [[Orgyenpa Rinchen Pal]], and later enthroned at [[Tsurphu Monastery]]. He then studied both the [[Nyingma]] and [[Kagyü]] traditions and took full ordination at the age of eighteen. 

[[Longchenpa]] and Rangjung Dorje shared a particularly close relationship since they both counted [[Rigdzin Kumaradza]] as one of their [[root teacher]]s and studied together. The Third Karmapa is responsible for introducing [[Dzogchen]] vocabulary into the [[Mahamudra]] tradition (as well as many elements from [[semdé]] and [[trekchö]]), and bringing these two traditions closer together. It is said that during a retreat in his early twenties he had a vision at sunrise of [[Vimalamitra]] and then [[Padmasambhava]], who dissolved into him at a point between his eyebrows. At that moment, he realized and received all the teachings and transmissions of the [[Dzogchen tantras]]. He wrote many volumes of teachings on Dzogchen and founded the Karma Nyingtik lineage.
