I hope this tradition is not lost already...

I congratulate your desire.

Sorry to say, I don't think any of Lama Dawa's students have accomplished the siddhi of mirror divination. There was one person in Florida who was interested in developing this siddhi and who Lama Dawa thought might have tra-mig/mirror divination eyes (the in-born predisposition or talent for this ability), but I don't think this person received the Red Saraswati practices and I believe Lama Dawa died before anything came of this student's desire, at least with Lama Dawa. As far as I know, only two of Lama Dawa's American students ever expressed great interest in and received Cho-kyi Go-cha's entire Red Saraswati terma cycle with all lungs and oral explanations of all sadhanas and practices. While I know these two are actively engaged in these practice, I am pretty certain they have not achieved this siddhi. In addition, there is a seal of secrecy of three years after achieving the siddhi before one is allowed to say anything about this to anyone.

Lama Dawa's brother, Lama Pema Dorje (of Oakland, CA) also holds these practices. He received the wang from H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche at the same time as Lama Dawa, and I know He taught some Yudronma mirror divination classes at Tara Mandala last summer (or the summer before; sorry, I'm an old man). I assume what He taught was from the same terma cycle, but I could not get confirmation of this from Tara Mandala. It was part of a larger retreat and they would not allow me to attend only the Yudronma mirror divination part. I assume Lama Pema Dorje does some mirror divination since he taught it, but I have also been told by Family members that it was Lama Dawa Who inherited His mother's tra-mig. It was H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche Who recognized this latent ability in Lama Dawa and told Him to go to Khyentse Rinpoche for the wang. Lama Dawa told His brother about the wang and so a number of others showed up for and received it.

The late Lama Tharchin also received (from His uncle) and transmitted this Red Saraswati cycle. So it's possible that one of His students has developed the ability to do mirror divination. However, knowing one of His students who received this transmission and has done some of the practices, those students do not seem to have received the entire cycle. Nor does the student I know seem to have developed the siddhi of mirror divination. But you might want to pursue this angle. Could be she is under the three-year seal of secrecy. PM me and I can send you her email address. She used to be a member here.

I personally know of one other person who does mirror divination. She is the consort of a contemporary Terton in Kham. Her mirror divination is through the intercession of Tashi Tsheringma, not Dorje Yudronma. She is extremely powerful. IME, She is as much a presence as Her Husband and is a Teacher in Her own right. However, She does not speak English and does not have an email address AFAIK. She has never been to the U.S. and She and Her Husband were denied exit visas to Thailand a year or so ago. So efforts to bring Them to the U.S. have been stymied. Unfortunately I am not allowed to mention either Her or Her Husband's name on the Internet out of concern for the Chinese Communist government.

I hope this information is helpful to you. I encourage you to pursue your intention and wish you the best of luck. I also hope you have tra-mig.

In fact, there is a unit that preserve the so-called "King Gesar" culture that includes a King Gesar mirror divination practice. The Rinpoche mentioned in this link I am providing is employed by The Chinese Social Science Institute Gesar Workforce which aims to preserve the Gesar Culture. This Rinpoche is recognised to be accomplished in Gesar mirror divination.

Preserve Gesar culture? Surely you jest!

My mother's side of family are Sami people, hunters, and they've used this ability, to foresee, to track down animals, find good fishing spots, etc. And more recently, to see whether one should eat in a sketchy restaurant. Actually my uncle gave this tip just a week ago lol.
