This chapter explores Tibetan understandings of character, personal identity, and questions of authorship, when the life story and spiritual writings in fact involve more than one person linked by a line of incarnation. The focus is the case study of Dudjom Rinpoche himself, his immediate predecessor, Dudjom Lingpa (bdud 'joms gling pa, 1835-1904), along with their seventeenth century former incarnation, Dudul Dorje (bdud 'dul rdo rje, 1615-1672).
