The Chime Rinpoches are the third significant reincarnation line, next to Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoches and Tenga Rinpoches, connected with the Benchen Monastery. The previous Chime Tulku survived the Cultural Revolution and has never left Kham. The living fourth Chime Tulku of Benchen Monastery resides in Tibet and is currently receiving traditional Tulku training.
