It
was to Mindroling that he returned to perfect his understanding of
the Nyingma tradition. Thus from the Mindroling Vajracarya, Dorzim
Namdrol Gyatso, he learned the rituals, mandalas, songs, dance and
music of Terdak Lingpa, along with many other teachings. There were
many other great teachers from whom Rinpoche had received all the
teachings of the Nyingma School.
From Togden Tenpa, he received both the wang and lung of the
"Dzogchen Nyingtig Yabshi", which was the lineage of the great
Khenpo Nyoshul Lungtok Tenpai Nyima. From Jedrung Rinpoche of
Riwoche, he received the "Kangyur" lung, "Dam Ngag Dzod", the
seventeen "Sangchen Ngepai" tantras, "Nyingthig Yabshi", and so on,
as well as all the teachings of Dzogpachenpo. He received them
completely and was considered his teacher's heart son. From Tulku
Kunzang Thekchog Tenpai Gyaltsan, he also received many deep and
important teachings. From Ngagtsun Gendun Gyatso, Rinpoche received
all the teachings of Pema Lingpa, the "Dzod Dun" (the Seven
Treasures of Longchenpa, 1308-1363), among many others.
Furthermore, from the great Khenpo Jamde, Pande Odzer (disciple of
Mipham Rinpoche, 1848 - 1912), Rinpoche received the "Nyingma
Kama", "Kagyed" empowerments, Sangye Lingpa's "Lama Gongdu" and "Sangwa Nyingpo" according to the
Zur tradition; as well as the cycle of the "Osel Sangwa Nyingthig".
He also received many tantra commentaries like the great
commentaries of Mipham himself, the "Nyingthig Yabshi", and so on.
Rinpoche considered Khenpo Jamde as his second kindest
Lama and took many vows of Pratimoksha, of Bodhisattva, and of
Vajrayana from him. He also received teachings from the great
beings who were disciples of the great Khenpo Nyoshul Lungtok
Tenpai Nyima: Khenpo Ngawang Palzang, Chatral Sangye Dorje, Lama
Urgyen Rigdzin, Kathok Chagtsa Tulku, Pulung Sangye Tulku, and
Gyurme Phendei Ozer, among others. He received teachings from them
and he also gave teachings to them.
Rinpoche's Great Realizations
Taking his practice very seriously, Dudjom Rinpoche
went to a secret place called Kenpa Jong (or Phuntsok Gatsel), and
accomplished the Dorje Phurba of "Dudjom Namchag Pudri". At Buddha
Tse Phuk, Rinpoche did Tse-Drup and his Tse-chang boiled. He
further received the auspicious signs when he was practicing the
gongter of Dudul Drollo. When in Paro Tak-Tshang (the Tiger's
Nest), Dudjom Rinpoche rediscovered the "Pudri Rekpung", the
"Tsokye Thugthig" and the "Khandro Thugthig", for which he wrote
down the main parts. In short, in all these important holy places
where he practiced, Rinpoche always experienced the signs of
accomplishment.
