Pema Lungtok Gyatso (Wyl. pad+ma lung rtogs rgya mtsho) (b.1852) also known as Golok Wangdé Lingtrul was a great Chö practitioner of the Dudjom Tersar lineage. He studied directly with Dudjom Lingpa and became one of his principal heart-sons and Dharma custodians[1].

Writings

Having attained the most excellent degree of scholarly learning and a lofty level of accomplishment, he composed a great many works such as:

  • "A Clear Guide to the Close Lineage of Chö Practice", an extensive 744 page commentary which provides a guide to the Chö practice in general, and to Dudjom Lingpa Tröma Nakmo's Chö cycle in particular.
  • a presentation of the nine yanas
  • a collection of practices related to Tara

Pema Lungtok Gyatso was assigned by Yeshe Tsogyal to help Dudjom Lingpa complete his autobiographies. He is considered a primary editor of the different autobiographies of Dudjom Lingpa and of most of Dudjom Lingpa's writings.

Notes

  1. According to Getse Rinpoche, "Golok Serta Rinpoche is not the same person as Pema Lungtok Gyatso who wrote the Chö commentary, even though he was also called Pema Lungtok Gyatso. The mahasiddha who wrote the Chö commentary was actually born in 1852, and we don't know when he died. He did study directly with Dudjom Lingpa." Information provided by Lama Chonam from a conversation he had with Getse Rinpoche on May 2004.
