This article is the ninth in a series on the lineage holders of the most profound path of the Great Perfection.
The former lineage holder Nyibum (100,000 suns) had a younger brother named Dawa Bum (100,000 moons). Dawa Bum had a son known lateras Guru Jober. Until he was seven years old, he appeared to everyone to be dumb. From his eighth year on, discriminative awareness blazed within his being. He lived with his uncle Nyibum until he was eighteen and received from him all the ripening empowerments and freeing instructions on the highest category of the Great Perfection. As a result, all his doubts were resolved. His unswerving diligence in practice was a sign of his meditation. He went on to study the three continua (ground, path and result) with Sakya Pandita as well as Chakrasamvara within the Melgyo tradition. He also studied with many other great gurus of his time and became well known for the vast knowledge he possessed.
With each practice he undertook, he had a vision of the deity directly but never mentioned his experiences to anyone. Once while praying at the famous statue of Lord Sakyamuni in Lhasa, he had a vision of Padmapani emerging from a sphere of light. Through his vast compassion and knowledge, he led many beings to liberation. At the age of sixty, when he passed away, a canopy of rainbow light remained around him for seven days. There were also many relics left in his remains, some in the forms of the syllables Om, Ah and Hung.
