Note that as applied to the Nyingma Sect, the "Supreme Head" designation is largely ceremonial, and was created only after the Tibetans went into exile. Previous holders of the title were Dudjom Rinpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, and Penor Rinpoche. The current Supreme Head is H.H. Mindroling Trichen XI.
