|tolExcerpt=Nyoshul Khenpo Jamyang Dorje (smyo shul mkhan po 'jam dbyangs rdo rje) was born in Derge, Kham (khams sde dge) in 1931. He was the third son of his father, whom he characterized as a "roaming bandit;" he also had three sisters. His paternal grandmother had been a student of Nyoshul Lungtok Tenpai Nyima (smyo shul lung rtogs bstan pa'i nyi ma, 1829-1901/1902), and Jamyang Dorje credited her with inspiring him to pursue the religious life.

|tolExcerpt=Nyoshul Khenpo Jamyang Dorje was one of the great Nyingma Dzogchen masters of the twentieth century. Born in Kham, he trained under Khenpo Ngaga and many other of the era's great teachers. He spent several years in solitary retreat and taught at Katok before fleeing the Communist take over of Tibet in the 1950s. Settling in Bhutan, he taught both high officials and young monks. He travelled and taught widely in the West.

At the age of five he was brought to a local Sakya monastery where he was given refuge and underwent the traditional hair cutting ceremony under a distant relative named Jamyang Khyenpa Tobgye ('jam dbyangs mkhyen pa stobs rgyas). At the age of eight he enrolled at the monastery and learned to read and write, but was otherwise charged with taking care of the sheep.

Wishing to have better religious instruction, at the age of twelve Jamyang Dorje went to study with Rigdzin Jampel Dorje (rig 'dzin 'jam dpal rdo rje), a master of Dzogchen and Mahāmudrā. Later, at Nyoshul Monasteryl (smyo shul dgon) in the Dzinkhok ('dzin khog) valley, upstream from Katok Monastery (kaH thog dgon), he received his monastic vows from Tubten Gomchok Lekden (thub bstan sgom mchog legs ldan, d.u.) There Jamyang Dorje received Dzogchen teachings from Nyoshul Lungtok Shedrub Tenpai Nyima (smyo shul lung rtogs bshad sgrub bstan pa'i nyi ma, b.1920), the reincarnation of his grandmother's teacher, Nyoshul Lungtok Tenpai Nyima, and a disciple of Khenpo Ngaga, Ngawang Pelzang (mkhan po ngag dga' ngag dbang dpal bzang, 1879-1941).

Tenpai Nyima became his root teacher. He gave Jamyang Dorje the ''Nyengyu Men-ngak Chenmo'' (''snyan rgyud man ngag chen mo'') and other Dzogchen transmissions. At Nyoshul he studied the traditional texts of Buddhist doctrine including the ''Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra'', Madhyamaka, Prajñāpāramitā, and the entire Kangyur and Tengyur, training in the traditional twelve-year khenpo (''mkhan po'') curriculum until the age of twenty-four, and earning the title by which he was best known, Nyoshul Khenpo.

The Nyingma, which is often described as the oldest tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, traces its origin to Padmasambhava, who is said to have visited Tibet in the eighth century.

Refers to something that is taught for a specific reason, rather than because it is entirely true.

Along with Madhyamaka, it was one of the two major philosophical schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism. Founded by Asaṅga and Vasubandhu around the fourth century CE, many of its central tenets have roots in the Saṃdhinirmocanasūtra and the so-called third turning of the dharma wheel (see tridharmacakrapravartana).

Along with Yogācāra, it is one of the two major philosophical schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism. Founded by Nāgārjuna around the second century CE, it is rooted in the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtras, though its initial exposition was presented in Nāgārjuna's Mūlamadhyamakakārikā.

The state of being devoid of that which is wholly different rather than being void of its own nature. The term is generally used to refer to the ultimate, or buddha-nature, being empty of other phenomena such as adventitious defiling emotions but not empty of its true nature.

The state of being empty of self, which references the lack of inherent existence in relative phenomena.

Tsen Khawoche's "meditative tradition" of exegesis of the Uttaratantra; it is one of two major Tibetan traditions of exegesis, both stemming from students of Sajjana.
