Terton Gyalse Rinpoche

[Charlie123]

I follow some Dudjom tersar fb pages and a lama by the name of Pemaköd Gyalse Rinpoche has been mentioned as leading a kilaya drubchen and a throma tsokbum in India. In other places he has been reffered to as Terton Gyalse Rinpoche. The way these fb pages phoneticize His name is super inconsistent. Anyhow, He seems like a great lama but there is very little English language information about him online. Does any body here know Him or know of Him? Id like to learn about Him.

According to many prophecies recorded in the Terma teaching of Nyingmapa, the first Terton Gyalse Dechen Lingpa from the hidden land Pemaköd is the reincarnation of Acharya Yeshé Yang and Langdro Lotsawa Könchok Jungné, two of the twenty-five disciples of Guru Rinpoche. The first Gyalse Dechen Lingpa is the elder son of Gampopa Tulku Orgyen Drondül Lingpa, the great Terton Gampo Dodrje, whom followed Guru Rinpoche's secret instructions to open the holy hidden land Pemaköd and became the Dharma King of this sacred place.

In 1962, the third Gaylse Dechen Lingpa was recognized to be the Dharma prine (Gaylse Tulku) of Pemaköd by His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche during the perfection of the Nyingma Kama empowerment, the root oral lineage of Nyingmapa, given by His Holiness himself in Kalimpong, India.

I'm trying to find out more about him also, if you ever do please pm me. He recently gave some empowerments at the Dudjom Tersar monastary at the refugee camp in Orissa, India in Febuary and March, 2020.
Anyways some variations of his name and titles i've found are below. I'm thinking of trying to write a short biography on him once I get more info. His brother is Dakpo Rinpoche aka Dakpo Tulku and was one of the chief proofreaders for Shechen Monastary's retyping of the whole Rinchen Terzod which finished in 2019 or 2020.

It's really interesting that several of us are becoming interested in Pekod Gyalse Rinpoche all about the same time. My root teacher is from Pemakod and spends time every year at his temple there. I asked him recently about Gyalse Rinpoche and he said he knows him very well. He mentioned his connection to the Mindrolling Lineage but also said that he is a strong Dudjom Tersar practitioner. He also looks a whole lot like my other Bhakha Tulku Rinpoche!

May those of us who wish to, all establish a direct connection with him soon!

I met Bhaka Tulku when he came to NY last year. What an excellent lama you have. Once this lockdown is over I hope to make it out to his center in NM.

He’ll be in Toronto in August for the Nyingma Monlam

Hello, I know him a little. I met him in Bodhgaya around 2010, he was among the main recievers of a major nyingma transmission. Then luckily I had a chance to meet him privately few times and I asked for some clarification and teaching. He kindly gave Chod Khandro gegyang lung and teaching. At that time he was a kind handsome and majestic, tall in appearance. Also he had good English, and willingness to talk, teach, communicate. He told us stories from 60s in India. Then few years later I met him in front of Boudhanath stupa. He kindly gave me him Nepali phone number, perhaps I still have it somewhere. Unfortunately I did not have any more contact with him since that time. Sometimes I think of him and re-read notes from his teachings he kindly gave us. I dont know much about him though. From my experience I can say he is a very good, senior and experienced lama and it is a good fortune for anybody who can meet him.
