Togden Kunzang Longdrol (Tib. རྟོགས་ལྡན་ཀུན་བཟང་ཀློང་གྲོལ་, Wyl. rtogs ldan kun bzang klong grol) (aka Togden Sithar) was a highly realized Dzogchen master who was from the Powo region in south-eastern Tibet.

Dudjom Rinpoche gave to all of them the complete Dudjom Tersar Chö empowerments, texts transmissions and all the oral instructions. They all became excellent masters in this special lineage of Chö.
