'''Nechung Oracle''' ([[Wyl.]] ''gnas chung sku rten'') is the state oracle of Tibet, who communicates with the deity [[Pehar]], usually indirectly, via the lesser deities Dorje Drakden and Shingjachen.

==Past & Present Oracles==
*The previous oracle, '''Lobsang Jigme''' (1930-1984) was the twelfth state oracle.

*The present oracle, Ven. '''Thupten Ngodup''' was born in Tibet in 1958 and is a descendant of the famous master, [[Nyang Ral Nyima Özer]] (1136-1204). Following the Chinese invasion, he fled with his parents into exile to India and later joined the [[Nechung Monastery]] as a [[novice monk]] in 1971. In 1987, he was recognized as the true successor of the previous Nechung Oracle, Lobsang Jigme, who passed away in 1984, and was officially enthroned in 1988.
