Dudjom Rinpoche Family Lineage includes through his father Khengen Tulku the 'blood lineage' of the early kings of Tibet, the 'Yarlung dynasty' ; a close connection to Katok Monastery as his father was an incarnation of Japhur Lama, a grandson of Longsal Nyingpo ; and through his mother Namgyal Drolma the 'blood lineage' of Ratna Lingpa.

Dudjom Rinpoche's father family lineage

Through his father Khengen Tulku, Dudjom Rinpoche was part of the Kanam Depa clan, rulers of the kingdom of Powo (which includes the northern part of Pemakö and a descendant himself of the early kings of Tibet. According to Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal[1]:

Approximately two thousand years ago, the Tibetan king Drigum Tsenpo (the 8th in the line of the original rulers of Tibet) was assassinated by his minister Longam. The king three sons—Jatri, Shatri, and Nyatri—fled. Jatri settled in the Powo area and ruled as king. He and his descendants later came to be known as the Kanam Depa clan. They ruled Tibet’s southern-most regions, centered in Powo but including Pemakö and other valleys, for almost two thousands years. They subdued outlaws and extended their loving protection to the weak, thereby gaining a very special place in Tibetan history. They were dharma patrons mainly for the Nyingma and Kagyu schools and in particular for the great Nyinga tertön Rigdzin Düddul Dorje, Taksham Nüden Dorje, and Tsasum Lingpa.

Among the children of King Kanam Depa are:
