The Seed of Faith (1)

The Seed of Faith

By Khenpo Tamdin Gyalpo & Translated by Dr. Gyurme Dorje

Sangye Pema Zhepa Drodul Rigdzin Trinle Drupeide Pelzangpo, the immediate subsequent incarnation (yang srid) of the lord of refuges Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, who was the definitive regent of Padmakara, lord among conquerors, and the head of the Nyingma school, which preserves the ancient translations of the secret mantra vehicles, has definitively attained manifest buddhahood, inseparable from the conquerors who embody the atemporal buddha-body of reality (dhamakaya), and yet, through the emanational play of great compassion, he is present even now as the essence of the mandala of the buddha-body of perfect resource (sambhogakaya), which naturally manifests and is endowed with five certainties. On that basis, he assumes the forms of the buddha-body of emanation (nirmanakaya), which trains living beings throughout the world-systems of the ten directions, and continues to act on their behalf.

Previous Lives


It was as such, for the while, that he assumed the form of the buddha-body of indestructible reality (vajrakaya), as a powerful and mighty lord of yoga, for the sake of those to be trained in this Auspicious Aeon (bhadrakalpa), receiving empowerments and prophetic declarations in the presence of the Teacher Shakyamuni Buddha, the guide of the Auspicious Aeon. During this period when the precious teachings of Shakyaketu, the fourth distinct guide of the Auspicious Aeon, continue to illuminate the world, he has taken birth as Shariputra, one of the supreme pair of great pious attendants who followed the Teacher himself. Furthermore, he also incarnated continuously in the successive forms of great spiritual beings who authentically adorned and elucidated the teachings of the conqueror. In India, they included the brahmana Saraha, Krishnadhara the religious minister of Oddiyana, and the master Humakara. In Tibet the Land of Snows, they included Drokben Khyeuchung Lostawa, Jowo Smritijnanakirti, Rongzom Chokyi Zangpo, Katok Dampa Deshek, Palden Ling Repa, Drogon Chogyal Phakpa, Khar Nagpa of Drum, Hepa Chokyi Jungne, Traktung Dudul Dorje, Gyelse Sonam Detsen, Dudul Rolpatsel and in particular, Terchen Traktung Dudjom Lingpa, the lord of refuges Dudjom Rinpoche Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, and now the lord of refuges, Dudjom Sangye Pema Shepa Drodul Rigdzin Trinle Drubpeide—he on whose divine fortune our flowers of empowerment now alight.

Future Lives


In the future also, it is predicted that he will assume the form of the Kulika Rudra, king of Shambhala, and destroy the armies that assault the borders of the Buddhist world. 

Finally it is predicted that he will attain buddhahood in the essence of the Tathagata Anantadhimoksa (mos pa mtha’ yas) and as such he will continue to rouse the world-systems of living beings compassionately from their very depths.
