| − | '''Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche''' (Tib. ལྕགས་མདུད་སྤྲུལ་སྐུ་, [[Wyl.]] ''lcags mdud sprul sku'') (1930-2002), '''Padma Gargyi Wangchuk''', was a renowned teacher of the [[Nyingma]] school. He was known and respected in the West for his teachings, and also for his melodic chanting voice, his artistry as a sculptor and painter, his limitless compassion, and his sense of humour. He was the source of treasured Nyingma lineage transmissions for the thousands of people whom he taught in North and South America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. | + | Gyalwa '''Dokhampa Shedrub Nyima''', the '''Ninth Khamtrul Rinpoche''' (b. 1982)<ref>Online references are contradictory (either 1980 or 1982).</ref> was born in Assam, India, and continues the illustrious tradition of his enlightened predecessors—the [[Khamtrul Rinpoche Incarnation Line|Khamtrul Rinpoches]] of the [[Drukpa Kagyü]] tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Recognized by His Holiness the [[16th Karmapa]] and Kyabgön [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]], he is the supreme head of [[Khampagar Monastery]] in [[Kham]], overseeing more than 200 monasteries and nunneries in Eastern Tibet as well as its present seat in [[Tashi Jong]], India, where the tradition of [[tokden]]s, or realized [[yogi]]s, is continued to this day. |

| − | 恰度祖古仁波切貝瑪噶吉旺秋是一位知名的寧瑪派上師。在西方，他不僅以其教法聞名及受到敬重，其具旋律的唱誦音聲、雕塑及繪畫的藝術才華、無盡的慈悲和幽默感，亦屬其因。他曾是北美洲和南美洲、亞洲、澳洲、歐洲等處數以千計的學生，領受珍貴（譯按：亦可能指「伏藏」）寧瑪派傳承的教法之源。
| + | 第九世康祖仁波切嘉華多康巴‧熙竺年瑪（生年1982）［註一］生於印度阿薩姆邦，繼續發揚藏傳佛教竹巴噶舉歷代具證量之康祖仁波切的傑出傳承。仁波切是由第十六世大寶法王與怙主頂果欽哲仁波切認證，為康區康巴噶寺之無上法座，指導東藏超過兩百間寺院與尼院，以及現今駐錫之印度札西炯寺院與尼院—於該處，瑜伽士長老（tokdens）的傳承仍延續至今。 |
| | | | |
| − | Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche was the fourteenth recognized Chagdud incarnation; and his root incarnation was [[Gyalwa Chokyang]]. Chagdud means 'iron knot', and is said to derive from one Sherab Gyaltsen, the first Chagdud incarnation, who folded an iron sword into a knot with his bare hands. This feat deeply impressed the emperor of Mongolia and inspired him to shower honours on Chagdud. Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche demonstrated the same extraordinary power several times in his youth when he compressed stout swords into folds.
| + | He received intensive training and the complete transmission of the Drukpa Kagyü lineage from his main teachers H.E. [[Dorzong Rinpoche]] and Kyabgön [[Adeu Rinpoche]], and many teachings and [[empowerment]]s from Kyabgön Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and Kyabgön [[Taklung Tsetrul Rinpoche]]. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Early Life==
| + | 他在尊貴的德頌仁波切與怙主阿帝仁波切這兩位主要上師的指導下，領受密集訓練和竹巴噶舉的完整法傳，且於怙主頂果欽哲仁波切與怙主達隆澤珠仁波切足下，領受許多教導與灌頂。 |
| − | He was born in the Tromtar region of Kham eastern Tibet in 1930. His father was Sera Kharpo, who was actually a lama in the [[Gelugpa]] school. His mother was Dawa Drolma, who was widely considered to be an emanation of [[Tara]], and had a profound influence on her son's spiritual life.
| |
| | | | |
| − | By the time he was three years old he was recognized as the incarnation of the previous Chagdud Tulku, [[Chagdud Tenpé Gyaltsen]], a Nyingmapa siddha from Chagdud Gonpa in Nyarong, and soon thereafter traveled to Temp'hel Gompa, a monastery about two or three days by horseback from Tromtar. As he recounts in his autobiography, ''The Lord Of The Dance'':
| + | Another [[tulku]] of the [[Khamtrul Rinpoche Dongyü Nyima|8th Khamtrul Rinpoche]], named Khamtrul Rinpoche Jigme Pema Nyinjadh (b.1981), was recognized by His Holiness the [[Dalai Lama]], His Holiness the [[Gyalwang Drukpa]] and the First Thuksé Rinpoche. He currently resides in Bhutan. |
| | | | |
| − | :“For the next seven years, until I went into [[three-year retreat]] at the age of eleven, my life would alternate between periods of strict discipline in which my every move would be under the surveillance of my tutors and interludes in which my suppressed energies would explode. Throughout, I had many visions, many clairvoyant experiences, many extraordinary dreams, and within these, I sometimes had glimpses of absolute open awareness.”
| + | 第八世康祖仁波切的另一位轉世為康祖仁波切吉美貝瑪寧佳（1981生），由尊者達賴喇嘛、嘉旺竹巴法王與第一世圖瑟仁波切所認證。現居於不丹。 |
| | | | |
| − | After this retreat he received numerous teachings, [[empowerment]]s, and [[oral transmission]]s, from various spiritual masters, including [[Shechen Kongtrul]], the [[Gyurme Kunzang Tenpé Nyima|Sixth Shechen Rabjam]], [[Khenchen Thubten Chöpel|Bathur Khenpo Thubga]], [[Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö]], [[Arik Rinpoche]] and [[Tromge Trungpa Rinpoche]], who told him that [[Tara]] meditation would be a primary source of accomplishment in his life.

| | | | |
| − | In 1945 shortly after completing his first three year retreat he went to see [[Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö]]. From Chökyi Lodrö Rinpoche he received the Rinchen Tangyud empowerments, and caught his first glimpse of [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]], who was attending the empowerments. By 1946 he entered his second three year retreat, this time under the guidance of the Tromge Trungpa Rinpoche. Near the conclusion of this retreat, the death of Tromge Trungpa forced him to leave before its completion. He then returned to [[Chagdud Gonpa]] in Nyarong, and after staying there for awhile, proceeded on a pilgrimage to Lhasa with an entourage of monks. He then did an extended retreat at [[Samye]], the monastery built by [[Guru Padmasambhava]], and afterwards attended empowerments given by [[Dudjom Rinpoche]], who would become a main teacher as well as a source of spiritual inspiration for him.
| + | ==Visits to [[About Rigpa|Rigpa]] Centres== |
| − | | + | *London, UK, 11-12 April 2015, teachings on [[meditation]] and the [[nature of mind]] based on a text composed by the 3rd Khamtrul [[Ngawang Kunga Tenzin]]: ''The Refined Gold of [[Mahamudra]]''. |
| − | After this in 1957 he stayed for a year in Lhasa, Tibet, in the same household as [[Polu Khenpo Dorje]], whom he regarded as his root lama.
| + | *[[Rigpa centre, Levallois]], France, 14 April 2015, teaching on [[buddha nature]]. |
| − | | + | *[[Lerab Ling]], France: |
| − | During 1958, his last year in Tibet, Chagdud Tulku was advised to marry in order that he would have a companion and helper in the unsettled times to come. He later wed Karma Drolma, the daughter of a wealthy landowner in Kongpo. Later on in exile in India, they would have a son and a daughter, [[Jigme Tromge Rinpoche]] and Dawa Lhamo Tromge.
| + | **9-10 May, teachings on [[meditation]] and the [[nature of mind]] based on a text composed by the 3rd Khamtrul [[Ngawang Kunga Tenzin]]: ''The Refined Gold of [[Mahamudra]]'' |
| − | | + | **12 May: [[Khandro Tsering Chödrön]]'s 4th anniversary practices |
| − | ==Life in Exile from Tibet==
| + | **13 May: [[Dakini]] day practices |
| − | Following Tibet's invasion by China in 1959, Chagdud Tulku escaped along with Polu Khenpo Dorje to India, after enduring hunger, and many close calls, where it looked like they would not make it out. His route took him through [[Pemakö]] region of Tibet, and his party came out from there into the Nagaland area of India.
| + | *[[Dharma Mati]], Berlin, Germany, 22-24 May 2015: 'Meditation und Heilung' |
| − | | + | **24 May: empowerment of [[Buddha of Medicine]] |
| − | In India Rinpoche lived in a number of Tibetan refugee resettlement camps─Kalimpong, Orissa, Dalhousie, Bir, and Delhi. He practiced Tibetan medicine, and was much in demand as his fellow refugees had trouble coping with the heat, and subtropical diseases found in India.
| + | On these visits, Khamtrul Rinpoche was accompanied by [[Tsoknyi Rinpoche]], [[Tokden Chökyi Lodrö]] and Tokden Tutop Nyima. |
| − | | |
| − | A year or two after his arrival in India, Rinpoche entered a retreat in [[Tso Pema]], a lake sacred to [[Guru Rinpoche]], located near the city of Mandi in Himachal Pradesh. At this location he met [[Changchub Dorje]], a primary disciple of [[Apang Tertön]] and a lineage holder of this great treasure revealer's [[Red Tara]] cycle. Changchub Dorje gave him empowerments for the Red Tara cycle, and then he re-entered into retreat and signs of accomplishment in the practices came very swiftly. Later, when he began teaching in the West, Red Tara [[sadhana]] would become the meditation most extensively practiced by his Western students.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While he was living in Bir, circumstances there gradually led to an estrangement with Karma Drolma, and eventually they separated.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After giving a teaching in Kulu Manali, the [[Dalai Lama]] extended an invitation for Rinpoche to go to the United States and teach, contingent upon him getting a visa. It was at this time that he moved to Delhi, and lived in Majnukatilla, a Tibetan Camp on the banks of the Jamuna river. The process of trying to get a visa went on for three years, and was ultimately unsuccessful. During this time period he met his first Western students, but he also caught malaria and nearly died, and was saved by an Indian doctor who finally made the correct diagnosis of what was ailing him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the fall of 1977 empowerment cycles were given in Kathmandu, Nepal by H.H. [[Dudjom Rinpoche]] in order to propagate the sacred lineages to a new generation. Chagdud Tulku decided to travel there in order to receive all the empowerments of the [[Dudjom Tersar|Dudjom treasures]] from Dudjom Rinpoche. Hundreds of tulkus, scholars, yogis and lay practitioners gathered at [[Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche]]'s monastery for these empowerments. About his experience he says this in his autobiography:
| |
| − | | |
| − | :“ During my stay in Nepal I received empowerments and oral transmissions for all the treasures he had discovered in this life and in his previous life as [[Dudjom Lingpa]]. It was a wealth of practices whose splendor is unsurpassed, and deep within me I formed the aspiration to offer this transmission to others through empowerment and teaching.”
| |
| − | | |
| − | While attending them Chagdud Tulku met an older lama from Western Tibet, Lama Ladakh Nono, who was known for doing mirror divinations. He subsequently did a mirror divination for Chagdud and told him he should go to the West and benefit many people there by teaching the [[Dharma]]. He also predicted that a Western woman would come into his life and that this would be good.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He continued to stay in Nepal on into 1978 in order to attend a new series of empowerments in the [[Chokling Tersar]] cycle given by His Holiness [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]]. It was while attending one of these empowerments, that a Western woman, Jane Dedman (later to become [[Chagdud Khadro]]), approached Chagdud Rinpoche with the offering of a white scarf and a jar of honey. Afterwards he invited her to lunch, and shortly after this he gave her some teachings. A month or so later he accepted her offer to serve as his attendant in retreat after the empowerments. This retreat lasted for several months, after which [[Dudjom Rinpoche]] among other things suggested Chagdud go to America to teach.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Life in the West==
| |
| − | After many months of waiting he was finally granted a visa and landed in San Francisco on Oct. 24, 1979. Shortly after this, he married Jane in South Lake Tahoe, California. The early years of his teaching in the Americas was spent in Eugene, and Cottage Grove, Oregon. In 1983, at the request of his students, he established [[Chagdud Gonpa]] Foundation. He soon ordained his first lama, a Western woman named Inge Sandvoss, as [[Lama Yeshe Zangmo]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Additionally in the time period of 1980 through 1987 he traveled widely and gave many teachings, accompanied by his translator, [[Tsering Everest]]. He invited many other renowned Lamas such as [[Dudjom Rinpoche]], [[Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche]], [[Kalu Rinpoche]], and Kyabje [[Penor Rinpoche]] to Oregon where they bestowed many empowerments and teachings. He also helped set up Padma Publishing which eventually published his two books: ''The Lord of the Dance'', and ''Gates to Buddhist Practice''. With the assistance of Richard Barron, Padma Publishing also began the monumental task of translating from Tibetan into English, [[Longchenpa|Longchenpa's]] [[Seven Treasuries]], of which four volumes have been published to date.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In 1987 he returned to Tibet for the first time since 1959. He traveled to Kham, visiting the three monasteries of his youth, and actually bestowed empowerments to the monastic staff there. His son, Jigme Tromge Rinpoche, traveled with him to Tibet and the next year immigrated to the United States, entering a three year retreat a few months after his arrival. Then in 1988 after land was acquired in the Trinity Alps of Northern California, the main seat of Chagdud Gonpa Foundation was created there as Rigdzin Ling.
| |
| − | [[Image:Lamas_in_Maratika.jpg|frame|Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, [[Sogyal Rinpoche]], [[Trulshik Rinpoche]] and [[Nyoshul Khenpo]] in [[Maratika cave]], 1991.]] | |
| − | It was here that Chagdud Tulku offered the empowerments and oral transmissions of the Dudjom Treasures in 1991, and several years later, of the supreme [[Dzogchen]] cycle, [[Nyingtik Yabshyi]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | In 1992 he received an invitation to teach in Brazil and he would become a pioneer insofar as spreading the Dharma in South America. Throughout the 1990s he maintained an extensive teaching schedule, put many of his senior students into three year retreats, and helped to establish many Chagdud Gonpa centers throughout the Western Hemisphere. These include, more than 38 Dharma centers under Chagdud Tulku's supervision and inspiration, in America, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Switzerland and Australia. The best known are Rigdzin Ling in Junction City, California and Khadro Ling, his main center in Três Coroas, Brazil.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In all his teachings he was known for stressing pure motivation in doing spiritual practice. He once wrote, "In the course of my Buddhist training, I have received teachings on many philosophical topics and meditative methods. Of all teachings, I find none more important than pure motivation. If I had to leave only one legacy to my students, it would be the wisdom of pure motivation. If I were to be known by one title, it would be the 'motivation lama.'" (Chagdud, 1992)
| |
| − | | |
| − | In this context ‘pure motivation’ means the cultivation of [[bodhichitta]], which is the enlightened intent of doing practice for the benefit of oneself, and all other sentient beings.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In 1995 he moved to Khadro Ling, in Río Grande do Sul, Brazil, and it became the main seat of his Dharmic activities, for the rest of his life. In 1996 the first Brazilian [[Dzogchen]] retreat took place at Khadro Ling and a large [[Guru Rinpoche]] statue was created there. In the next few years, he traveled in South America, giving teachings in Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile, in addition to different parts of Brazil. He also continued to travel to his centers in the United States, and made frequent visits to Nepal, a return to Chagdud Gompa in eastern Tibet and a visit to mainland China. During this same time period, in addition to leading [[drupchen]]s and month long Dzogchen retreats, he also trained his students in the sacred arts of sculpture and painting, as well as ritual dance, chanting, and music.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In 1998, construction began on the ''lha khang'' (temple) of Khadro Ling. In July 1998, the empowerments of the Taksham Treasures were bestowed by Tertön [[Namkha Drimé Rinpoche|Namkha Drimé]] in the still incomplete temple. This temple was followed by an enormous prayer wheel project, perhaps the largest in the Western Hemisphere, then eight magnificent [[stupa]]s, and a monumental statue of [[Akshobhya]] Buddha. In the same period, in [[Pharping]], Nepal, Rinpoche built a new retreat center where eight people began training according to the Katok tradition under Kyabjé Getse Tulku (the fourth incarnation of [[Gyurme Tsewang Chokdrup]]).
| |
| − | | |
| − | While Chagdud Rinpoche kept up a tremendous amount of Dharmic actvity, in the last few years of his life he was somewhat slowed down by diabetes, and in 1997, he entered a clinic and was diagnosed with a serious heart condition. In the last year of his life Rinpoche's body began to sabotage his outer activities. He tired more easily, and travel became difficult. In 2002, he cancelled a trip to the United States, which had been scheduled for October, and instead entered strict retreat.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the last week of his life, he concluded this retreat on Tuesday, November 12th, worked with a student artist to complete a statue of [[Amitabha]], talked with many of his students, and led a training in [[phowa]] (transference of consciousness at the moment of death) for more than two hundred people. He continued teaching with great vigor until about 9 pm on Saturday night November 16th. Then on Sunday morning of the 17th, at about 4:15 am, Brazilian daylight time, he suffered massive heart failure while sitting up in bed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After this, Rinpoche remained in a state of meditation for almost six full days.
| |
| − | The ability to remain in meditation after the breath stops is known as ''[[tukdam]]'' ([[Wyl.]] ''thugs dam''). His son [[Jigme Tromge Rinpoche]] described this in a release to the Brazilian press:
| |
| − | | |
| − | :“After his last breath, my father remained in a state of meditation for almost six full days that prevented the usual deterioration of his body. The ability to remain in a state of meditation after the breath stops is well known among great Tibetan masters, but circumstances have rarely allowed it to occur in the West. Chagdud Rinpoche remained sitting in a natural, lifelike [[meditation]] posture, with little visible change of color or expression. During that time, no one touched his body. | |
| − | | |
| − | :Until the sixth day, Friday, November 22rd, Rinpoche showed no physical signs that his meditation had ended. In the interim we were in constant consultation with a lawyer and other officials about local customs and regulations. Friday midday, his meditation ended and his mind separated from his body. Within hours, his appearance changed. He took on the signs typical of those occurring within the first 24 hours of death.”
| |
| − | | |
| − | Afterwards his ''[[kudung]]'' (the physical body) was flown to Kathmandu, Nepal, and then to the retreat center in Pharping. During the forty-nine days that followed, Getse Tulku Rinpoche and Jigme Tromge Rinpoche led ceremonies in Pharping, to purify inauspicious circumstances to Rinpoche's rebirth and to generate great [[merit]] through offerings and practice.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A year later on the full moon of December 8, 2003, Rinpoche's cremation was held on Jigme Rinpoche's land in Pharping, with [[Katok Moktsa Rinpoche]], one of the highest lamas of [[Kathok Monastery|Katok Gompa]], serving as [[vajra master]]. Hundreds of Rinpoche's students gathered, to mourn the loss of his direct physical presence, and made prayers and offerings for his eventual rebirth.
| |
| − | | |
| − | His principal successors, Lama Drimed Norbu, his wife [[Chagdud Khadro]] and his son [[Jigme Tromge Rinpoche]] continue to teach and carry on Chagdud Rinpoche's many projects and practices.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In 2010, Jigme Tromge Rinpoche announced that the tulku of Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche had been recognized by Khenpo Ngagchung of Nyoshul Gonpa in Tibet.
