Dampa Sangye (Wylie: Dam pa sangs rgyas, (d.1117) often known as Pha Dhampa Sangye. or 'Father Dampa Sangye', was a Buddhist Mahasiddha of the Indian Tantric Movement who transmitted many teachings based on both sutra and tantras to Buddhist practitioners in Tibet in the late 11th Century. Dampa Sangye appears in many of the lineages of Chöd and so in Tibet he is known as the Father of Chod, however perhaps his best known teaching is the 'Pacifying Suffering' teaching known variously as: Shee Ché, Shijed, Zibyed and Zhi-je (Tibetan: ཞི་བྱེད།, Wylie: Zhi-byed). This teaching became an element of the Mahamudra Chöd lineages founded by Machig Labdron.
According to a prediction of Padmasambhava he would be reborn as Phadampa Sangye [1].
In the esoteric oral tradition of Tibetan Buddhism a version of Dampa Sangye's life-story has him travelling to China and teaching there for 12 years, where he was known as Bodhidharma the founder of Zen.[2] Dampa Sangye is associated with the Tingri area of Tibet, where he lived for many years.
Bardok Chusang Rinpoche is recognized as the incarnation Dampa Sangye. He is a married yogi, living in Kathmandu.[3]
