Enthronement of the two-year-old incarnation of the great and powerful 20th century terton Padgyal Lingpa will take place on July 17th at Rigdzin Ling. This day is also the celebration of Guru Rinpoche' s birthday and the conclusion of the Red Vajrasattva drubchen, which comes from Padgyal Lingpa's treasure cycle.
Orgyen Jigmed Namgyal has been recognized by His Holiness Penor Rinpoche and His Eminence Dzongsar Khyentse as the incarnation of Padgyal Lingpa. Chagdud Tulku, who is the custodian of Padgyal Lingpa' s lineage, believes the authenticity of the incarnation is beyond any doubt.
Many Chagdud Gonpa sangha members have had the rare privilege of witnessing this tiny tulku (known and loved as Kunzang) unfold the dharma qualities he established in previous lifetimes. He is a delightful and beautifully articulate child whose spontaneous play signals something extraordinary. When he was barely able to stand up and walk, he took objects off the shrine in his babysitter's house and touched them to his playmates' heads, enacting the ceremonial role of a lama giving an empowerment. He soon learned to play the small damaru and bell, and now, without any prompting, has taken up the cymbals.
Often during puja, for which he has endless enthusiasm, he climbs up to Chagdud Rinpoche's high throne and takes the role of vajra master. He has recited the SevenLine Prayer perfectly, though not consistently, and he listens carefully lo increase his recitation repertoire. Occasionally he sifts through Rinpoche's Tibetan text, pretends to read certain pages and touches them to the top of his head. The whole pantomime is amusing to the observer, yet who knows what wisdom is flowing from the text to that receptive mind?
Orgyen Jigmed Namgyal is the son of Tsokye Mehlberg and the late Pema Wangyal of Dolpo, an artist and strong practitioner. Presently his primary tutor is Tulku Tamdrin, with Chagdud Rinpoche overseeing his training. His mother and the lamas are cooperating to ensure that discipline and training bring his qualities to full fruition.
