Sedgyued Monastery :: Sed-Gyued Lieage

His Holiness the Dalai lama on Sed-Gyued Monastery
“Sed-Gyued Monastery, Salugara, is the main seat of the Sed-Gyued linage or whispered linage. Whispered linage is a secret teaching transmitted only to the closest disciple through direct communication with their root teacher or meditational diety … It is because of the unbroken secret teachings of Sed-Gyued linage and commentaries that the Tibetan secret Mahayana practice is intact today .. The purpose of Sed-Gyued Monastery is to preserve and promote the unique tantric study, practice, experiences and culture of this lineage, as well as the subsequent lineage holders and Sed-Gyued masters … I appreciate and admire Sed-Gyued Dorjee Chang Jampa Wangyal Rinpoche for his tireless effort to preserve the Sed-Gyued tradition. I wish and pray for the better establishment and further development of Sed-Gyued Monastery.” - 29 September 1999, Gyued Med Tantric University, Hunsur (Mysore), INDIA.

Lineage of the Sed-Gyued is based on its pure tradition of an unbroken line descending from Jetsun Sherab Senghe, founder of the Sed-Gyued Monastery and a disciple of Je Tsong khapa Lobsang Dakpa.
Lineages are passed on to a Great Master of Sed-Gyued Monastery and no reincarnation is ever recognized as per the tradition of the Sed-Gyued Lineage.

All lineage holders of Sed-Gyued Monastery are monks of Monastery and they receive all teachings from their master and practice both Tantra and Sutra through out their lifespan and himself becomes the master. In Sed-Gyued tradition there is no written documents for future re-incarnation of Great Master and the lineage holders in future will also remain practical Philosophers and learned lamas.

Till the 21st Sed-Gyued Dorjee Chang Kunchok Yarphel, the lienage holders are known as the great Se cret whispered Lineage holders. Whispered lineage is secret teaching transmitted only to the closest disciples through direct communication with their root teacher or meditation deity. His Holiness the fifth Dalai Lama too greatly appreciated and declared that Dorjee Chang Kunchok Yarphel as an excellent master and a lord of whispered lineage.

	Sed-Gyued Dorjee Chang Kunchok Yarphel once asked Dham-Chen Chogyal, the Great Dharma Protector, to gather before him any suitable disciples as he was quite old. As a result, Jamshed Nawang Tsundu, Cheang-kya Nawang Chokden and other suitable disciples came to Tsang province in Central Tibet to meet Sed-Gyued Dorjee Chang Kunchok Yarphel and received from him empowerments and oral transmissions of Guyasamaja, Heru,-Kapa, Yamantaka and other teachings.
