A Brief
Biography of Pema Rinpoche
Pema
Rinchen Rinpoche is the 4th reincarnation of the Great Terton
Master Konchok Naga Dorje. Tsapu Dadun Rongchu Naga Dorje was one
of the 13 greatest Terton Masters named by Dorjie out of the 100
Terton Masters prophesized by Padmasambava and was also an
emanation of King Trisong Detsen. This great terton master had
revealed numerous hidden Buddha statues, sutras as well as Dharma
pills. One of the terma treasures he revealed was the Vajrapani
statue from Zharezhi Mountain (Meaning: Sword-like rock), together
with its Sadhana and precious Dharma pills. All this Dharma
treasures are still maintained and practiced in Kongya
Monastery.
The
2nd reincarnation of this Great Master was Konchok Rinpoche,
recognized by the His Holiness 15th Karmapa, and given Dharma name
Chodun Guje. He received many empowerments, oral transmissions and
teachings from his root teacher, the 2nd Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche.
Chodun Guje Rinpoche practiced long time of the supreme practices
of Vajravarahi, Chakrasambhava and Gyalwa Gyamtso (Red Chenrezig) .
He was one of the great accomplished masters of the Kagyupa
Luminous Mahamudra.
Presently, Pema Rinchen
Rinpoche was recognized by the 12th Tai Situ Rinpoche. He was born
in the village of Tsula in Tibet. When Pema Rinpoche was young,
Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche at Kongya Monastery already knew he was
different from the rest of the children. As a child, Pema Rinpoche
showed loving-kindness and compassion to all living beings and
liked to follow his uncle, who was a lama, to various caves on
retreat. There was once they went to a very distant cave which one
had to travel a long distance in order to fetch water. Young Pema
Rinpoche discovered and dug out a clean spring of water near the
cave which helped to others to get drinking water
easily.
When
Pema Rinpoche completed his primary education, he became ordained
at Kongya Monastery and received many great empowerments and
teachings from Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche. The empowerments and oral
transmission Pema Rinpoche received included teachings from the 4
traditions, including the 1st Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche's teachings
on "The Five Great Treasures", the 1st Karma Chiame Rinpoche's
great teachings as well as Nangchiu Karma, Tersa and Dzongchen
Nanha teachings.
Tai
Situ Rinpoche gave Pema Rinpoche Bhikkhu Vow and Bodhisattva vows.
Pema Rinpoche then went into a retreat for 3 years and 3 months at
the Tersar Monastery's retreat centre. After his retreat, Pema
Rinpoche went to the Seda Larong Five Sciences Buddhist Institute
(Wu Ming Fo Xue Yuan ) to study for 5 years and received complete
oral transmission on Khandro Nyingtig from great teachers including
His Eminence Jigme Phonchok Rinpoche and Khenpo Pema Caiwang
Rinpoche. Rinpoche also received many other teachings, empowerments
and learnt from many great realized masters and went on many
retreats ranging from a month to half a
year.
Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche
was pleased and asked Pema Rinpoche to teach at the Kongya
Monastery Institute as Khenpo. Pema Rinpoche currently teaches
diligently while making full use of his other time to do practice
retreats. Before the old Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche passed away, he had
made Pema Rinpoche the Monastery's Head Vajra Master as well as
gave him the responsibility of managing the
monastery.
After the old Sangye
Tenzin Rinpoche passed away, Pema Rinpoche had been responsible for
looking for his reincarnation. He had been to India and Nepal to
visit the 17th Karmapa, Tai Situ Rinpoche and Gyaltsab Rinpoche for
advice. Karmapa and Tai Situ Rinpoche have both complimented and
advised Pema Rinpoche, encouraging him to be a non-sectarian Dharma
teacher to spread Dharma to all alike, having learnt from many
Great Realized Masters from many lineages and being a practitioner
of the Mahamudra and Dzogchen. They have issued him a
recommendation letter to benefit all sentient beings with his
Dharma
activities.
