Tulku Pema Dorje (1867-1934) was the second son of Dudjom Lingpa and the younger brother of Dodrupchen Jikme Tenpe Nyima.

At a young age, he was recognised as an incarnation of Dragyur Marpo Lotsawa and of Satsa Lama [1]. Few years after his brother’s enthronement as the Third Dodrupchen Rinpoche in 1870, Tulku Pema Dorje went to live with him at Dodruchen Monastery. Later on, Tulku Pema Dorje became the administrator of the monastery and the devout caretaker of Dodrupchen’s projects until his death. Tulku Pema Dorje said “Dodrupchen Rinpoche would gardly say anything directly about what to do, but listening to his hints, I would try to fulfil his aspirations”.

Tulku Pema Dorje's tulku is Tulku Theglo Rinpoche, the son of Dzongter Kunzang Nyima, the enlightened speech incarnation of Dudjom Lingpa.
