Golden Undefeated Lama of Blessings

(By Tsem Rinpoche)

In life after life since the time of the historical Buddha you have incarnated in a string of scholars, masters and yogis with the express wish to liberate others from sufferings. Your many emanations and incarnations are both seen and unseen. Common and uncommon in Dharmakhaya, Sambhogakhaya and Nirmanakaya forms endlessly until present day. To this supreme wonder I offer my praise to meet and be close to your emanations.

Though you have worked tirelessly for others for countless years beyond measure, due to the obscuring karma of sentient beings rather than appreciating your efforts they scoff at you. Scoff or praise in your mind has no difference as you have obtained the middle view clearly as expounded by the famed Nagarjuna. Your only purpose is to secretly take on the sufferings of others fueled by bodhicitta and magnanimous in your actions by realization of emptiness.

Never in your mind has the thought of self or self-benefit arose or will arise. Some have the merits to be with you one year, three years, six years, seven years or more and some for a lifetime depending on their merits and efforts. But no doubt all who are with you for short or long periods will do Dharma and have the supreme seeds of Manjushri implanted into their continuum. However long untamed sentient beings remain with you, you have the skill to activate some activities within them even for a short period to collect merit, hear about bodhicitta and renunciation even if they cannot remain for long for otherwise they would never do even one minute of Dharma. Ordinarily other lamas would never be able to tame them even for a short time. Even the short periods they are with you, you have assured their future rebirths by the Dharma they have done with you.

Your supreme mind and line of incarnations are always focused on mind trainings, the path, the supreme tantras that grant enlightenment in 3 years, 3 months and 3 days. Blessed by the supreme Tricosmic King Tsongkapa you work in peaceful form as a lama to bring Dharma to many. You work in the form of a protector to bring the necessities to others. Your wrathful activities dispel obscuration to omniscience. Your wrathful and peaceful expressions are just enlightened expressions of your varied skillful methods compassionately benefiting others.

To this supreme being and your Illustrious line of incarnations, I humbly bow, take refuge and request to never be separated from you. Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen who remains undefeated by rituals, magic, mantras, negative words, fire pujas and suppression from the highest, your time has come. Your lineage and your works will grow and expand into the three planes, ten directions and six realms as pre-ordained by the vows you took in front of Buddha and again Manjunatha Tsongkapa. May we gain your attainments and be protected by you. All beings’ sufferings be released as dedicated by the supreme Shantideva. May Dharma reign supreme and Mara’s forces by quelled.

Abbreviated biography

During the era of the Great Fifth Dalai Lama, Dorje Shugden took rebirth in the form of a very special incarnate Lama. This would be Dorje Shugden’s “last” incarnation before arising as a Dharma Protector. From childhood, this incarnation exhibited many signs of a superior being. For example, he had clear visions of Yidams and enlightened beings when he was only five or six years old.

At the age of six, the Fourth Panchen Lama, Panchen Losang Chokyi Gyaltsen recognized him as the unmistaken tulku incarnation of his predecessor, Ngawang Sonam Geleg Pelsang, and installed him upon his former throne, giving him the name Dragpa Gyaltsen.

When he was just seven, the young Tulku took novice vows, ‘out of his own volition’, from Panchen Lozang Chogyen, and received from him Vajra Bhairava empowerment, long life initiation and initiations of Dharmapalas such as Mahakala and Dharmaraja. At that young age, he also received transmission of Lord Atisha’s texts on the path to enlightenment.

By the time he was 13, Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen had already studied and mastered the Lamrim. Among other teachings, he also received extremely vast and profound instructions on the Path of Bliss commentary to the stages of the path to enlightenment (Lamrim), as well as transmission and commentary for Guru Yoga of the Segyu Tradition, Ganden Lhagyema, and many other transmissions and commentaries.

Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen received his full ordination vows at the age of 20. From that time onward, like all his previous incarnations, he upheld his ordination vows perfectly and purely, without transgressing even the slightest foundation of the precepts. In the following years, until he was 28, this young erudite Lama continued to request for and received countless teachings transmissions and initiations of the highest practices from his Lama. It seemed his capacity and thirst for learning was without limit.

The relationship between Guru and disciple was very close and governed with great mutual respect. It is said that the Panchen Lama was at one time very busy, but when Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen requested for profound teachings, the Panchen Lama took a break from his schedule to give him the entire Kadam Volume with many other various essential and important teachings such as Lamrim Chenmo and Ngagrim Chenmo, combining instructions of Je Tsongkhapa and Kedrub Rinpoche. After receiving these teachings, Master and student then entered isolated retreat together, where Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen received the rest of the profound teachings of the uncommon ear-whispered Ganden lineage.

Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen was one of the two main disciples of the 4th Panchen Lama, Lobsang Chokyi Gyeltsen, the other being the Great Fifth Dalai Lama himself. Contrary to what is often mistakenly recounted, Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen and the Great Fifth shared a very respectful and close relationship.

Though they both studied under the Fourth Panchen Lama, Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen received many direct teachings from the Dalai Lama also. On several occasions Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen also made offerings and served the Dalai Lama directly, coming out personally to receive or escort him on his travels. He even invited the Dalai Lama to his own residence and received from him a hundred long-life initiations.

Throughout his life, from his childhood, Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen was highly recognised for his vast study and incomparable ability to easily absorb and understand even the most subtle and profound points of the teachings. His skill in teaching, speaking, debate, composition were unrivalled and known to have conveyed the Buddha’s original teachings perfectly, without any slightest deviation or error. By this alone, we can see that he did not just study and know the teachings, but had full realization of them.

Further, in his lifetime, he also engaged in many isolated retreats, engaging in purification practices and the accumulation of merit based upon the Guru Yoga. He also accomplished full retreats that focused upon many Yidams, thus achieving all the highest realizations described in sutric and tantric texts.

In his biographical account of Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen, His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche writes in Music Delighting an Ocean of Protectors that, “He reached the state of a supreme mahasiddha and the infinite pure simultaneous appearance of the entire ocean of mandalas, and it is with reverent regard for this that he is praised.”

Apparently, he had also received many direct visions of deities and exalted Gurus from a very young age but in following the Kadam tradition of humility and keeping such attainments secret, there were only very few and scattered accounts of these visions. (One rare and very precious example of such secret writings of Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen can be read in Music Delighting an Ocean of Protectors).

Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen became one of the most highly respected and sought-after Lamas of the land who was known to have the complete qualifications for teaching. His body was pure as he held ethical discipline throughout his life and firmly upheld every of his commitments and vows. He was deeply learned and extremely well-versed in scripture, reasoning and the BuddhaDharma. Lastly, because of his pure altruism he was very beneficial to others in all his actions throughout his life.

He had all of the realized qualities for teaching without exception, making his teachings so exalted that it was as if Arya Nagarjuna, one of his disciples, or the great master Haribadra was actually present. ~ H.H. Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche

Just the history and achievements of his previous existences forms a wealth of precious teachings for all of us to learn and contemplate. The previous existences are all great Masters in their own ways. They are :

    1) Manjushri
    2) Magadha Sangmo
    3) Virupa/Birupa
    4) Thonmi Sambhota
    5) King Trisong Detsen

    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this article. We are very blessed and fortunate to have this protector practice from our beloved H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche. This practice has helped us all in one way or another. The protector helps us to clear whatever obstacles or obscurations that we might have to progress in Dharma work. The protector’s objective is to liberate us from samsara and eventually to gain enlightenment.

    Thank you Rinpoche for this beautiful praise of Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen,
    and about his fantastic achievements and some of his history.Can’t wait for the whole line of incarnations story be out and social media on them! 🙂

    Praise to the incomparable Tulku Dragpa Gyeltsen.

  8. Joy Kam on Jul 24, 2015 at 11:59 pm

    We’re so fortunate to be born and part of this lineage family. This statement definitely rings a lot of truth “Even the short periods they are with you, you have assured their future rebirths by the Dharma they have done with you.”

    Now I understand even better why Rinpoche have always advice us to never scorn nor criticise HH the Dalai Lama but to always be respectful and polite. The relationship between TDG and the Dalai Lama stems way back to the 5th Dalai Lama… “both studied under the Fourth Panchen Lama, Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen received many direct teachings from the Dalai Lama also”… they were both Dharma brothers/friends/colleagues and Guru/Disciple as well.

    Thank you for sharing this short biography and can’t wait for the whole line of incarnations story be out!

    Thank you, Rinpoche, for this praise of Kyabje Choktrul Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen, who has reincarnated lifetime after lifetime so as to benefit all beings , through his dharma. His love of all beings has manifested in his unique great compassion (bodhicitta): he would tirelessly practice lojong and secretly take on the sufferings of others.His was a profound realization of emptiness of Nagarjuna’s Middle View(the Correct View). “Scoff or praise in your mind has no difference as you have obtained the middle view clearly as expounded by the famed Nagarjuna”. Lifetime after lifetime, he lived unaffected by praise or scorn, brushing off scorn and ridicule like dust particles.

    Tsem Rinpoche:”Tulku Drakpa Gyeltsen who remains undefeated by rituals, magic, mantras, negative words, fire pujas and suppression from the highest, your time has come. Your lineage and your works will grow and expand into the three planes, ten directions and six realms as pre-ordained by the vows you took in front of Buddha and again Manjunatha Tsongkapa. May we gain your attainments and be protected by you. All beings’ sufferings be released as dedicated by the supreme Shantideva. May Dharma reign supreme and Mara’s forces by quelled”.

    Manjushri is one of the most important figures in Mahayana Buddhism, and is considered a patron deity of wisdom and learning. By practicing Manjushri our wisdom can enhance and improve significantly. Helps help us with our memory.
    Through Rinpoche’s sponsorship at Gaden Sharte Monastery many monks had benefited. Rejoice to them receiving the initiation .Sponsoring the Dharma, which refers to supporting the teachings and practices of Buddhism, is considered a meritorious act in Buddhism. Acts of generosity and support for the Dharma are believed to generate positive karma, leading to positive consequences in this life and future lives.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing and explaining it.

    David Bowie, was an English singer, songwriter and actor and was once a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner. Regarded as among the most influential musicians of the 20th century . The English singer, songwriter and actor David Bowie died at his Lafayette Street home in New York City but in his will he requested his ashes to be spread according to the Buddhist rituals of Bali, Indonesia. He must been to Bali and fall for the beauty of Buddhism and culture of Bali to choose BUDDHIST ritual upon his death. David Bowie made a conscious choice that made perfect sense, not allowing fans and media to focus on his body and his death.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    HORRIFYING, feeling sad after watching the video. The way or rather methods of slaughtering of pigs at slaughter house is indeed cruel. Just like human beings, they do feel pain and fear to be slaughter. No living beings would choose to die in pain or a painful death. Hopefully those methods have since been changed to minimize animal suffering. Stop consuming meat and choosing to go meatless or on vegetarian is the best choice.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this to bring awareness of how those poor pigs suffer before been killed.

    Hoichi the Earless is the name of a well-known figure from Japanese folklore. His story is well known in Japan. Some centuries ago there lived at Akamagaséki a blind man named Hoichi, who was famed for his skill in recitation and in playing upon the biwa. According to legend, Hoichi was a blind minstrel with an amazing gift for the biwa (a loquat-shaped Japanese lute). Despite his talents, Hoichi was very poor and was forced to live at Amidaji Temple under the care of a friendly priest. There’s an interesting stories behind how he lost his ear to the Samurai and the priest wrote kanji characters all over Hoichi’s body rendered him invisible to the samurai. Hoichi’s ordeal had freed him from the spirit’s power, and he went on to recover from his wounds and become a famous musician. His story become well known and had it appearing in the books as well as in film.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

Such a meaningful song or rather deep poem, will be wonderful if I could understand enough some of those words, its more of a deep Dharma teaching to me. This song of existential freedom was composed by the Glorious Master Yogin Saraha and translated in English translation by Herbert V. Guenther.

    HH the 101st Gaden Trisur Jetsun Lungrik Namgyal Rinpoche is an erudite, and highly attained lama. Millions of Gelug practitioners from all over monasteries view H H the Gaden Tripa as the supreme leader of their lineage. H H the Gaden Tripa gave a three-day teaching on the sacred Highest Anuttarayoga Tantra practice of Vajrayogini at his Dharma centre in France, Thar Deu Ling. A very special text containing teachings composed by HH Gaden Trisur Rinpoche were also distributed. Incredible , HH Gaden Trisur Rinpoche continue giving teachings at the advanced age of 92. Haven writen a book about the Vajrayogini practice shows us the importance of this practice in this day and age. Merely by reciting her mantra daily without break can gain spiritual attainments, perceive her holy form, and even ascend to her pure land — Kechara Paradise.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this profound knowledge about Vajrayogini

    In Tibetan Buddhism, refuge and the guru are closely intertwined. Taking refuge in the three jewels expresses the most fundamental connection to Buddhism. Having confronted the limitations of samsara, we are ready for a change. Taking refuge involves seeking protection and guidance from the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, with the guru often seen as a living embodiment of these three jewels. The guru’s role is to guide practitioners towards enlightenment by pointing them to the path and helping them overcome obstacles. Refuge is not merely a symbolic act but a deep commitment to transforming one’s mind and life by relying on these sources of inspiration and guidance. Taking refuge doesn’t protect us from problems such as illness, accidents, and other difficulties. Rather, it provides us with knowledge to transform obstacles into opportunities. We learn how to relate to difficulties in a new way, and this protects us from confusion and despair. Reading again to understand better .
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing .

    Reading through this blog of what life was like for Pastor Jean Ai, during lockdown. The Movement Control Order which began in 2020 reminded me of how I went through during the lock down. Staying alone by myself as the rest of my family member outstation in KL. Not easy after all everything as such as getting foods etc. I do my shopping twice a week having doing all the necessary disinfection and so on. What I did at home during the lock down and how I spent my time, days indeed not easy Do reading, watching videos at Tsem Rinpoche blog , learning and practicing and in-fact did full prostration and mantras recitation daily . It had changed my life since then and had completed 100k . Through a Dharma brother I managed to get hold of some mantras for rolling too. Interesting,…..watching Pastor Jean Ai’s video at how she interact with friends that’s awesome.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Jean Ai for this interesting sharing.

    n Tibetan Buddhism, prostrations are a way to express deep respect and devotion to the Three Jewels for the Buddha, his teachings (Dharma), and the spiritual community (Sangha). Prostration is a physical act of deep reverence or worship, which offers a range of benefits across spiritual, physical, and mental domains. It can be a form of prayer, a means of expressing devotion. It is a deeply symbolic act that purifies negative actions, accumulates merit, and cultivates humility and compassion. It can be a form of prayer, a means of expressing devotion. This act is believed to be beneficial for practitioners, cultivating humility, eliminating negative thoughts, and accumulating positive karma which is believed to lead to positive future outcomes and spiritual progress. Whether we believe in karma or not, our negative karma increases without purification. Hence its important , to purify our negative karma through the Vajrasattva and prostrations practice. It also seen as a way to purify our negative mind, emotions and thought patterns, such as pride and ego if we do it well . Thus, the practice of purification is one of the most important solutions to our problems and is extremely necessary for everyone of us. It is more important to put our everyday life’s effort into the practice of purification to attain spiritual realization.
    The Vajrasattva purification practice, which is more powerful than negative karma. With this practice can prevent us from experiencing the problems that negative karma would otherwise bring us. Reciting the Vajrasattva mantra before going to bed to prevent whatever negative karma we have created that day from multiplying it is an incredibly powerful method that it makes our life very light and easy and keeps us happy and peaceful in our inner life.
    Both Vajrasattva practice and prostrations done with good visualizations are indeed very beneficial for practitioners.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing and teachings .

    Du Fu (712-770 AD), also known as Tu Fu, was a prominent Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty, often considered one of the greatest alongside Li Bai. He was a poet-historian and a poet-sage, known for his realistic depictions of human suffering and reflections on the troubled times of his era. His poems, reflecting his personal experiences and the political instability of the time, have had a lasting impact on both Chinese and Japanese literary traditions.
    Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Anila for this sharing.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

  • What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    8 years ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
