Biographie

Le troisième shamarpa est né le 12 mars 1406 à Trang Do, dans la province du Kongpo au sud du Tibet. On l'aurait entendu réciter le mantra Om mani padme hum dans le ventre de sa mère, à sa naissance, des arcs-en-ciel se formèrent au-dessus de sa maison.

Il est reconnu comme l'incarnation de shamarpa par d'anciens disciples. Il est conduit à Taktsé, et passe par le monastère de Ganden Mamo^[2]. En 1413, à l'âge de huit ans, il rencontre le 5^e karmapa Deshin Shekpa à Pang Dor et ils rejoignent Taktsé. Cette même année, il reçoit l'ordination préliminaire du karmapa et des enseignements. Il reconnut et intronise le 6^e karmapa, Thongwa Dönden. Kenchen Sonam Zangpo lui confère l'ordination complète. Guéshé Rigdzin et l'élève de son prédécesseur Sowon Rigpe Raldre lui transmettent des enseignements. Il commence alors à transmettre des enseignements. Sa mort s'est accompagnée de la formation de nombreux arcs-en-ciel. Ses principaux disciples sont Jampal Zangpo, Gelong Zhonu Pal l'historien et Ngampa Chatrel.

While still inside his mother's womb he could be heard reciting the 'Mani' Mantra and at the time of his birth there were several rainbows in the shape of an umbrella, which formed right over the roof of the house. On the soles of his feet there was formed the Mongolian letter 'Gyel' (meaning Victory). He was immediately recognised as the incarnation of Shamarpa and was identified as such by several of his former disciples. All the prediction details agreed precisely with the circumstances of his birth, so he was taken to Taktse, passing through Gaden Mamo meditation centre on the way there. At the age of six years he was observed climbing all overthe greatWonpo rock, known to be the residence of an important Protector Deity. On the third day of the tenth month of the female water snake year (1413), at the age of eight, he met Karmapa Debzhin Shegpa at Pang Dor and together they proceeded to Taktse. On the tenth day of the eleventh month of the same year he took the preliminary ordination from Karmapa and received the precepts and teachings. Later he recognised and enthroned the new Karmapa, Tongwa Donden and took him to his monastery. From Kenchen Sonam Zangpo he received the final ordination. Geshe Rigdzin gave him some important teachings as did the pupil of his former incarnation, Sowon Rigpe Raldre. Having completed all his studies he began to impart teachings. A fine Lama, he had many disciples. After many years spent spreading the Dharma he passed away on the fourth day of the sixth month of the male water monkey year (1452), at the age of forty-seven. There were numerous rainbows overhead at this time and flowers fell down from the sky. His foremost disciples were Jampal Zangpo, Gelong Zhonu Pal the historian and Ngampa Chatrel. »
