#[[Apang Tertön]]
#Chö-nyön Drakpa<Ref>'''Chö-nyön Drakpa''' was a student of Dudjom Lingpa who requested a [[Chö]] practice to be revealed.  According to Dudjom Lingpa’s outer biography: ‘Around 1862, in the last autumn month, someone called Chö-nyön Drakpa, Renowed Madman Severance Practitioner, offered me a drum, a hand drum, a thighbone trumpet, and a pair of volume of [[Jikmé Lingpa]] ’s [[ Longchen Nyingtik]], ‘Heart Essence of the Vast Expanse’. He asked, ''Transcribe a text from the [[Zabsang Khandro Nyingtik]], The Profound Doctrine of the heart Essence of the Dakinis, and I will do that practice''. That night, a bright blue woman saying she was Dakini Ngadré Gyalmo, Drumbeat Queen, approached me. I asked her, ''What is this Chön-nyön Drakpa like? Of what quality is he?'' She answered: ''Hé! Hé! That holy hidden adept is an incarnation of te great Sakya Kunga Gyaltsen, Ever-Joyful Victory Banner of the Sakyas, and the hidden adept Kong-nyön, Madman from [[Kongpo]]. In order to purify his remaining obscurations, he’s taken on a body like this for now. The auspicious connections of his meeting with your [[terma]s are that he’s given you this drum and bell. A portent [that your treasure teachings] will be as acclaimed as the profound [[Nyingtik]], ‘Heart Essence’ teachings; As an indication of Chö practice, he’s given you this hand drum; These are signs that your name will be renowned. Excellent omen like these are so rare!'' (Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, page 86.)</Ref>

#Dorje<Ref>'''Dorje''' was a student of Dudjom lingpa. In his biography, Dudjom Lingpa recounts when he met him: “In the year I turned thirty-nine, at night on the ninth day of the middle summer month, a dakini appeared saying, “Here is something you need.” She gave me an extremely beautiful and fascinating iron ritual dagger wrapped in black silk; attached to the silk was an unsightly stone ritual dagger. “My child, I’m giving this to you. As a sign that this has come through the hands of a foolish lama, it has a black silk wrapping. The stone dagger connected to it will be of scant help to anyone else: It will likely accomplish its own purpose.” Early the next morning on the tenth day, Dorjé Zangpo, Excellent Vajra, from Chutsang and a sculptor name Dorje, Vajra, arrived together. We offered a vajra feast celebration. [...] The diking said:  'As for Dorje, his companion, he won’t be of service to others, but he will accomplish his own purpose [by attaining realization]. They must both stay in mountain hermitages, wandering to unfixed locales. This is of utmost importance!” Then she vanished without a trace.(Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, page 134-135.)</Ref>

In his biography, Dudjom Lingpa recounts: “In the past, while staying at the Hor family’s homestead, Lama Kyenrab, Omniscience, from Nuzok [Monastery] requested me to transcribe a Jampal, Gentle Splendor, tantra. Accordingly, when I began that task on the tenth day of the middle winter month, thunder roared from the heavens and small hailstones fell erratically. I considered that to be indicative of a favorable coincidence, the thought of which made me quite delighted and happy, so I told the lama about it. He said, “During the winter, isn’t the sound of thunder something disastrous?” He made this and other pessimistic comments; I saw that there wasn’t going to be much of a good connection. I ceased writing after five pages and se it aside without transcribing anything more.” Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, p.134).</Ref><Ref>In his autobiography, Dudjom Lingpa recounts how he received a prophecy from Dakini Kuntu Gyuma who sang to him, ‘[In 1882], on the tenth day of the middle winter month, a woman appears saying she was Dakini Kuntu Gyuma Saljéma, Wandering All-Illuminator, and sang to me, ‘A superlative individual whose name ends with '''Rab''', Highest, will accomplish the supreme illusory rainbow body if he isn’t fooled by circumstances involving the eight wordly concerns.’(Traktung Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, page 158).</Ref><Ref>In his outer autobiography, Dudjom Lingpa recounts being told that '''Lama Kyenrab''' is an emanation of [[Rechungpa]]: ‘Rechung Dorje Drak [has taken rebirth] as Dong-rik Kyenrab Gyatso, Ocean of Omniscience of the Dong Clan. If he doesn’t keep to unfixed mountain locales, he won’t have the fortune to live very long.’ and ‘Let Gyalsé Shenpen Tayé, Victors’ Heir of Infinite Benefit to Others, and Rechungpa, Young Cotton-Clad One of Vajra Renown, correct any faults in your writing.’ (Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, p192.)</Ref>

When I transcribed a text for him, a rainbow stretched out like five silk ribbons sone above my house, a portent of his impeding liberation in the illusory rainbow body. At the end of his life in Lhasa, when he passed away, exceptional canopies of rainbow light and other signs and indications appeared. Everyone in Central and Western Tibet was amazed. During the middle winter month [of 1872] I practiced Dakini Tröma Nakmo during a month-long retreat. On that occasion I was accompanied by my supreme disciples Tsé-chu, Pema Tashi, and Orgyen. There was no one else apart from this trio. I cam to the firm conclusion that they upheld their tantric commitments. At that time, a rain of small feathers from vultures, the king of birds, fell; the house was infused with a sweet aromas; and others fantastic signs and omens appeared.'

  7. ↑ Dampa (d.1891) was a direct disciple of Dudjom Lingpa who recounts in his outer biography that In 1891, on the twenty-first day of the first month, my disciple Dampa passed away This passing was foretold to Dudjom Lingpa by Dakini Sangwa Yeshe, Secret Wisdom, who told him in 1890 Your disciple Dampa will be born in the dakini country of Orgyen on the twenty-first night of the Rabbit Month (Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, p174).
  8. ↑ Dorje was a student of Dudjom lingpa. In his biography, Dudjom Lingpa recounts when he met him: “In the year I turned thirty-nine, at night on the ninth day of the middle summer month, a dakini appeared saying, “Here is something you need.” She gave me an extremely beautiful and fascinating iron ritual dagger wrapped in black silk; attached to the silk was an unsightly stone ritual dagger. “My child, I’m giving this to you. As a sign that this has come through the hands of a foolish lama, it has a black silk wrapping. The stone dagger connected to it will be of scant help to anyone else: It will likely accomplish its own purpose.” Early the next morning on the tenth day, Dorjé Zangpo, Excellent Vajra, from Chutsang and a sculptor name Dorje, Vajra, arrived together. We offered a vajra feast celebration. [...] The diking said: 'As for Dorje, his companion, he won’t be of service to others, but he will accomplish his own purpose [by attaining realization]. They must both stay in mountain hermitages, wandering to unfixed locales. This is of utmost importance!” Then she vanished without a trace.(Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, page 134-135.)

  13. ↑ Lama Kyenrab was a student of Dudjom Lingpa. In his biography, Dudjom Lingpa recounts: “In the past, while staying at the Hor family’s homestead, Lama Kyenrab, Omniscience, from Nuzok [Monastery] requested me to transcribe a Jampal, Gentle Splendor, tantra. Accordingly, when I began that task on the tenth day of the middle winter month, thunder roared from the heavens and small hailstones fell erratically. I considered that to be indicative of a favorable coincidence, the thought of which made me quite delighted and happy, so I told the lama about it. He said, “During the winter, isn’t the sound of thunder something disastrous?” He made this and other pessimistic comments; I saw that there wasn’t going to be much of a good connection. I ceased writing after five pages and se it aside without transcribing anything more.” Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, p.134).
  14. ↑ In his autobiography, Dudjom Lingpa recounts how he received a prophecy from Dakini Kuntu Gyuma who sang to him, ‘[In 1882], on the tenth day of the middle winter month, a woman appears saying she was Dakini Kuntu Gyuma Saljéma, Wandering All-Illuminator, and sang to me, ‘A superlative individual whose name ends with Rab, Highest, will accomplish the supreme illusory rainbow body if he isn’t fooled by circumstances involving the eight wordly concerns.’(Traktung Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, page 158).
  15. ↑ In his outer autobiography, Dudjom Lingpa recounts being told that Lama Kyenrab is an emanation of Rechungpa: ‘Rechung Dorje Drak [has taken rebirth] as Dong-rik Kyenrab Gyatso, Ocean of Omniscience of the Dong Clan. If he doesn’t keep to unfixed mountain locales, he won’t have the fortune to live very long.’ and ‘Let Gyalsé Shenpen Tayé, Victors’ Heir of Infinite Benefit to Others, and Rechungpa, Young Cotton-Clad One of Vajra Renown, correct any faults in your writing.’ (Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, p192.)

If he has practiced his whole life long, he will attain true and perfect enlightenment.’ (Traktung Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, page 158).

  26. ↑ Tsé-chu was a major student of Dudjom Lingpa and unlike many other students who met Dudjom Lingpa after he gained renown, Tsé-chu was with him at least since Dudjom Lingpa was 37 years old. In his biography, Dudjom Lingpa recounts: '[In 1872], compelled by joy, my student Tsé-chu, Tenth Day, asked me for something to practice. When I transcribed a text for him, a rainbow stretched out like five silk ribbons sone above my house, a portent of his impeding liberation in the illusory rainbow body. At the end of his life in Lhasa, when he passed away, exceptional canopies of rainbow light and other signs and indications appeared. Everyone in Central and Western Tibet was amazed. During the middle winter month [of 1872] I practiced Dakini Tröma Nakmo during a month-long retreat. On that occasion I was accompanied by my supreme disciples Tsé-chu, Pema Tashi, and Orgyen. There was no one else apart from this trio. I cam to the firm conclusion that they upheld their tantric commitments. At that time, a rain of small feathers from vultures, the king of birds, fell; the house was infused with a sweet aromas; and others fantastic signs and omens appeared.' (Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, p.133).

Following Dudjom Lingpa's prophecy, he went to see his karmic teacher, Adzom Drukpa (Source Tulku Thondup, 'Masters of Meditation and Miracles', Shambala, 1996, page 261)
