Biography of Tubten
Palzang Rinpoche
Thubten Palzang was born in
the year of the Fire Rat (1936). He was discovered by the
great Khenpo Ngaga Rinpoche, the same Khenpo who confirmed
the recognition His Holiness Drubwang Pema Norbu Rinpoche.
Thubten Palzang Rinpoche was a younger classmate and special
friend of His Holiness, along with Dzongnang Rinpoche. The
three young tulkus studied and practiced under the direct
guidance of Khenpo Ngaga and received teachings and
empowerments from many realized masters. Among these, he
received the Rinchen Ter Dzod (Precious Terma Treasury) from
Chogtrul Rinpoche and the Dam Ngang Dzod (Treasury of
Essential Instruction), the Do Wang Drangtsi Chu Gyun (Anu
Yoga Empowerment-Continual Flow of Nectar) from Khenpo
Legshed Jordan. From Lungtog Rinpoche, he received all the
Longchen Nyingthig empowerments and oral transmission
teachings. From Khenpo Khyentse Lodro, he received the Du Do
Drelwa (Anu Yoga commentary) and many other empowerments and
transmissions.
Free from the stain of partiality, Thubten Palzang's
activities are like a great ocean of enlightened conduct for
the benefit of the teachings and all sentient beings. He has
overseen the rebuilding of the Palyul Monastery in Tibet and
spent many years caring for and nurturing the entire Palyul
lineage in that region, serving as His Holiness Pema Norbu
Rinpoche's surrogate for the granting of teachings and
empowerments. He is renowned for his mastery of the detailed
instructions of all the ritual activities such as the mudra
(hand gestures) and cham (lama dance).
