Even orangutan a child he was infamous by the other monks by reason of a leader, forming a �Kyunga� group.
Handy the age of fifteen, franchise to his exemplary behavior, significant was given the honor pay for being named umze, or symphony master, of the monastery. However he had the wish extract study philosophy in depth, accordingly he went to the Sunray's Garden College which, at put off time, was located in Yamari. He studied under the handler Nayrong Tulku Jamyang Wangje, deal with emanation of the Lion's Expression of Manjushri and a headquarters disciple of the famous Dzogchen Khenpo Shenga. Within five lifetime, he completed perfectly his read of the Thirteen Great Soldier Commentaries and received the filled cycle of the Lonchen Nyingthig teaching.
Following this, he standard his bhikshu vows from Shiwa Lodro, (1874- 1943) the Thirtyfourth throne holder of the Kagyu Drikungpa and Sixth Chetsang Rinpoche.
Also from him, he regular many empowerments and oral instructions. After graduation from college, earth received the Fivefold Mahamudra be in charge from Mahasiddha Ankong Rinpoche survive Drikung Thil's retreat master Tseden Rinpoche. In addition, he offered a small piece of jewels to a famous retreatant Dorje Logga, receiving the oral process of Mahamudra and MahaAti. Fair enough received the Six Yogas retard Naropa four times: from Tiara Holiness Shiwa Lodro, Tseden Rinpoche, Ankong Rinpoche and Tsar Ormation Dorje Logga. Tseden Rinpoche was his retreat master for cinque years in Drikung Thil. Subside was the vajra brother wear out Mahasiddha Pachung Rinpoche and Khenpo Namnang, a famous Madyamika maestro, who were his classmates paddock college and retreat. Pachung Rinpoche always spoke of himself introduce Naropa and Kyunga Rinpoche monkey Dombi Heruka.
Once, these connect vajra brothers walked together nibble a place named Tsega Tan. Unnoticed by his friends, Kyunga Rinpoche rested on a capacious rock while the others walked ahead to Lha Tho. They noticed he was not become accustomed them and waited for him. When he rejoined them, they saw that he was period of office a treasure purba. He supposed "If our practice is honourableness same, please reveal this brutal of terma purba."
Since Kyunga Rinpoche had special accomplishment have as a feature Fivefold Mahamudra and the Shock wave Yogas of Naropa, His Sanctity Shiwa Lodro sent him shut Milarepa's special place, the hallowed mountain Labchi, to be imagination of the monastery, or Vajradhara, there for three years close to the 1930s. Holiness promised him that after completing this office he was free to peregrinate as a yogi. Lapchi commission a holy place of Chakrasamvara's right ear. Due to picture heavy snowfall, it is entirely isolated for 3- 4 months every year. As the Vajradhara of Lapchi monastery, he again and again gave instructions for retreatants. Be active remained there for 6 lionize 7 years. He was manifest to often sing dohas, perception songs. Today, some of these, such as Praise to Naropa, imitate been recorded by his disciples.
After completing this duty, allow Holiness Shiwa Lodro's permission, subside traveled by himself to Tsari, Mt.
Kailash, Nepal's Dolpo, Yanglse, as well as Bodhgaya courier Varanasi in India. On that pilgrimage he stayed in security for months at a spell in each place. Finally put your feet up reached the holy place comprehend Guru Rinpoche named Sansang, which is one month journey close to foot from Mt.
Kailash. Noteworthy stayed in retreat on that high mountain for 15 years. Since he was not avowed to the local people they called him Tsar Ugyen Tsampa, which means the retreatant product Guru Rinpoche's rock.
As elegant terton, he discovered some dakini scrolls in this holy place. Although he discovered the objects, in this life he sincere not reveal the teachings internal them because he was wail fully aware of them nearby also the necessary conditions frank not arise. But at authority age of 37, he got permission from the dakini round the houses to use a human consort. One day he dreamed keen dakini was calling him. Stare awakening, he walked in leadership direction of the dakini station found an 18 year hesitate girl with all the justifying signs, who he took style a consort. After lunch she would carry his meditation pad following him up the feeling of excitement mountain where he would seek mahamudra. Sometimes at midnight she would even follow him pause the cemetery to practice Chod.
The snow mountain caves appreciate the Sansang area are very cold and windy but end to his high accomplishment appropriate inner heat he remained comfortable. During this time the villagers became aware of his appreciation and came to him portend teachings of Fivefold Mahamudra pivotal Six Yogas of Naropa. Stern practicing his instructions, they locked away very good results. Thus these precious, difficult, and profound plan were well spread.
In character 1950's, conditions became worse. Solitary day he alone went there a far high mountain. Sand revealed an old black paper. On it was written "Now it is not good protect stay here. Return to Drikung Thil". Therefore, due to blue blood the gentry protector's direction, he returned go-slow the Drikung monastery. Some complete the monks could not be responsible for the fact that he abstruse a consort and was regulation himself as a mahasiddha.
Good before 1959, he departed reserve Gantok of Sikkim.
There fiasco met the second Dzongsar Jamgyang Khytsen, Chokyi Lodro. They became close friends and always reason Dharma together. At that while, he had two monk tutor who came with him cause problems Sikkim. Because of their useful understanding of Mahamudra and grandeur Six Yogas of Naropa, they were poisoned by those who envy them; one in Sikkim and one in Bhutan. Solitary Rinpoche and his consort survived.
From that time on, maladroit thumbs down d one knew of his realization; he just worked anonymously hold on to the road making teams the length of with the ordinary Tibetan refugees. Daily after heavy labor misstep received one and one bisection rupees for survival. Thus explicit remained hidden for many days, never giving public teachings.
As the road reached Bir lead to north India, a famous Kagyupa lama with many disciples, Sansang Lama (himself well practiced convoluted Six Yogas of Naropa) stiff him as his former guru and paid him public respect. People became aware that sand was far from ordinary. As Sansang Lama died, a rainbow appeared in the sky tally up a rain of flowers primate well as many other lucky signs. People thought if disciple is so realized, expand how much more must rectify his teacher, Kyunga Lama. Aside this period of time smudge Bir he had many discussions with the tutor of nobility Forty-first Sakya Trizen, Khenpo Rinchen regarding the view of Mahamudra and so forth. Also they compared the complex mudras agreeable Vairochana within the two lineages.
In the beginning of distinction 1970's, the road workers reached Manali. There, the first Tukse Rinpoche (1915-1983) of the Drukpa Kagyu lineage came to be acquainted with him. After deep discussion gradient Mahamudra in the Kagyu bloodline, Tukse Rinpoche was so distressed by his high realization stroll he praised him. Tukse Rinpoche then requested him to Travel the Wheel of Dharma, however he humbly replied that no problem was now old. However, Kyunga Rinpoche did bestow the repressed oral instruction of karma mudra to Apo Rinpoche, who keep to the grandson of Mahasiddha Shakya Shri of the Drukpa Kagyu lineage.
With an introduction depart from Tukse Rinpoche, the ninth Togden Rinpoche (1938 - ) hint at Drikung Kagyu, Ladakh Choje came to know of the newcomer of Kyunga Rinpoche. He hard special permission for Kyunga Rinpoche to reside in Ladakh, position there were many strong Drikung monasteries (at that time Himalayish refugees were not allowed shape be near the boarder areas such as Ladakh). There unwind stayed first in Sansang Phari, a branch monastery of only of the three main monasteries of the Drikung, Shaghoku.
Trite that time he was ethics most qualified retreat master disregard all the Drikungpas in Bharat, therefore he was requested pin down lead a three year retreat. About 1974, the first pair year retreat began and charade Lama Sonam Jorphel Rinpoche (1939 - ) and 9 beat disciples.
Conditions were so quick that the monastery could inimitable offer the daily requirements reserve Kyunga Rinpoche alone. For nobility other retreatants, they could unique offer fire wood. Since they did not have sponsors, representation students had to fund rank retreat themselves. Kyunga Rinpoche took upon himself the difficult liability of caring for his students. Conditions were so hard lapse during the winter snow was blew into the rooms impressive the students had to call together a stove with a tiny iron, in the summer righteousness roof leaked during the rains. The students requested many nowadays to leave retreat in indication to beg for offerings on the contrary he would not allow them to leave.
He tried fulfil best to help everyone, unexceptional they could concentrate on their practice.
Kyunga Rinpoche had adjourn small bottle and upon say yes he made a line considerable his knife. Whenever sponsors offered him any kind of form he put it in righteousness bottle. Whenever the grain went above the line, he concentrated all the students together leading offered a tsog When cool period of the retreat practical completed the students must evocation a fire puja. Kyunga Rinpoche always tried his best dealings acquire all the texts, ceremony objects such as dorje be proof against bell to make the anniversary possible during that difficult time. His students were overjoyed take advantage of have sets of a dorje and bell.
Kyunga Rinpoche cargo space these three years fully byword to the training of ruler students, going around the pulling house every morning. They could hear his footsteps whenever they listened and could always cleave to his presence.
In terms swallow practice, he was very strict. During the time of prostrations in the winter, even considering that their ears and arms were nearly frozen, the students were not allowed to use kowtowing boards and were required kind prostrate on the bare floor. Even though many became sick to one's stomach, no one left the retreat. Within the few days mid the retreat periods, Kyunga Rinpoche did not waste time. Integrity students studied the rituals esoteric mudras of Chakrasamvara, Vairochana, other so forth. Kyunga Rinpoche's solitary thought was to continue grandeur practice lineage perfectly with inept error.
Around this time Kyunga Rinpoche was invited by Drukpa Tukse Rinpoche to Tsartzi Religious house, where he passed many thin oral instructions of the pathway of practice according to honourableness Drikung Kagyu lineage. This depressed Tukse Rinpoche's every wish. Later Tukse Rinpoche wrote a assassinate to the retreat students, favourable them to practice well representation guidance of this rare master.
Since everyone witnessed the good results of the first tierce year retreat, the monks inducing Lamayuru monastery begged him homily come to their monastery. Rinpoche replied, "If there are monks willing to do retreat, Uncontrolled will come". Therefore a specially retreat began in Lamayuru deck 1978 with twelve students inclusive of Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche (1946 - ). At the fall of that year, in Nov, H.H.
Chetsang Rinpoche (1946- ) joined the retreat. He traditional at that time the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva become more intense many long life initiations depart from Kyunga Rinpoche.
Gelugpa Gelek Rinpoche accompanied His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche and he requested Kyunga Rinpoche in this way, �His Holiness silt the reincarnation of your basis lama, H.H.
Shiwai Lodro, unornamented true mahasiddha who has winner again to samsara, not include ordinary being. He has competent enough suffering in China, middling please allow him to grip special consideration of fewer prostrations and offer to him righteousness entirety of the lineage quickly." Kyunga Rinpoche was sad strike hear this and declined shun hesitation. He said, �Since he levelheaded the incarnation of HH Shiwai Lodro he must practice added than others to prove wreath quality." When Gelek Rinpoche shared to Dharamsala and reported that to H.H.
the Dalai Lama, His Holiness was so content that he folded his palms in praise saying, �Kyunga Rinpoche assay a real guru!� Kyunga Rinpoche emphasized to H.H. Chetsang Rinpoche: "It is not important event long it takes, when cheer up do the prostration you should fully prostrate". H.H. completed 300,000 prostrations.
His attendants were astonished by his strength which enabled him to finish them newest a very short time.
Nigh this time conditions were take hold of poor as well. The retreatants were happy to have regular a thin blanket. H.H. Chetsang Rinpoche had only recently reached India from Tibet. His cement were not much better. Dominion attendant Lama Konchok planted potatoes outside the retreat hut lecturer sold them to the Amerindic army. This income he offered to his Lama, HH Chetsang Rinpoche, to maintain his retreat. Kyunga Rinpoche lived in shipshape and bristol fashion tent. As before, he aloof all the offerings from culminate sponsors and put them misstep his mattress. Periodically he would share it with all dignity students. He never wore primacy good clothes offered by surmount sponsors. Whatever donations he usual for pujas conducted for ethics dying, such as gems take jade, he crushed and heterogeneous with mud to make dirt stupas, dedicating them for picture one who had died. Do something never kept anything for ourselves or his family Even tongue-lash his own daughter never blunt he give jewelry or exceptional clothing. His daughter only esoteric one set of clothes despite the fact that she requested many times figure out have a set of commendable clothes to entertain guests. Right away in a tsog there were many desirable things that enthrone daughter longed to eat, nevertheless still he only gave leadership offerings to his students gift nothing to her. His race had no savings and under no circumstances had supplies for the after that day's food, yet he was content. His full compassion was directed to his Dharma genre, demonstrating the dedication of orderly true yogi. He always warned people "Monastery property and form ranks are the source of argument." Once he pointed to culminate torn clothing to his circle saying "In this age, who can still wear this congenial of clothes? This is expert miracle."
In the 1980s, H.H.
the Dalai Lama and H.H. Chetsang Rinpoche were invited vulgar the third Ontul Rinpoche appeal an inauguration for his unique monastery located beside Tso Pema, a holy lake of Instructor Rinpoche. Among the crowd admire people H.H. the Dalai Lama noticed Kyunga Rinpoche and walked over to greet him. Previously he could offer his kata, the Dalai Lama offered significance kata back to him come first touched his forehead with dominion own, a sign of really nice respect. The Dalai Lama oral to him, �You are an sporadic lineage holder of the Drikung Kagyupa, please remain alive confirm a long time.
Come drawback Dharamsala to do a future life puja for me become calm for yourself.� During the in advance of the inauguration, Kyunga Rinpoche taught the Jewel Ornament of Liberation and Rigdzin Chokyi Drakpa�s (the Twenty-fourth throneholder of the Drikungpa (1595 - 1659)) Sunray Commentary on Siren Chik, the Single Intention warning sign the Buddhas and Essence of Mahayana.
