KHENCHEN PEMA SHERAB RINPOCHE
Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche is the most
senior Khenpo in our Palyul monastery.
In 1959, he went to India, where he met H.H. Dilgo Khyentse
Rinpoche, and received most of his teachings including the
Guhyagarbha Root Tantra, Longchenpa’s Treasury of Pith
Instructions, Kagyud Ngag Dzod (Treasury of Tantra teachings
of Kagyu Lineage), Rinchen Terdzod, Jigme Lingpa’s Yonten
Dzod (Treasury of Enlightened Qualities), Patrul Rinpoche’s
Words of My Perfect Teacher, and many other sutra and tantra
teachings.
On various occasions, he has received many teachings
including the Rinchen Terdzod Empowerments and its oral
transmission from H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche and H.H. Penor
Rinpoche. He received all the teachings related to Jang-ter
(Northern Treasure Teachings) from H.H. Taklung Tsetrul
Rinpoche.
In 1968, H.H. Penor Rinpoche invited him to come to
Namdroling to teach the Dharma, though the institute has not
been established. Khenpo spent a few years teaching the
traditional common and uncommon fields of study to small
monks of the monastery.
In 1978 after the establishment of the institute until 2003,
for 25 years, Khenpo Pema Sherab has been teaching. During
his tenure, he has wholeheartedly rendered his priceless
service without thought of eight worldly concerns and has
stayed in the institute all these years, forbearing all
hardships for the preservation and dissemination of Buddha’s
teaching in general and the Nyingma doctrine in particular.
The teachings that he has dispensed include the common
traditional sciences of Tibetan grammar, spelling and
poetry. Among the uncommon traditional studies, he has
taught primarily the Thirteen Great Treatises, Jigme
Lingpa’s Treasury of Enlightened Qualities, Mipham
Rinpoche’s Osel Nyingpo; a commentary to Guhyagarbha Tantra,
Longchenpa’s Trilogy of Resting in the Nature of Mind, Sutra
that Gathers All Intentions and Great Accumulations and
many other teachings that illustrates the distinct view,
meditation, conduct, and fruition of the Nyingma Lineage.
For the benefit of future generations, he has composed many
books on Buddhist philosophy including a biography of Guru
Padmasambhava, an Exposition on Two Truths, Lorig and Tagrig,
Sun of Mind; an exposition of Logic and many others.

Buddha Nature: How to Realise
This Through the Practice of Sutrayana & Tantrayana
Sugatagarbha or Buddha nature is a unique
concept of Mahayana Buddhism highlighted in the Third
Turning of Wheel of Dharma by Lord Buddha. According to
this philosophy, all beings regardless of their virtuous or
non-virtuous background have this potential to achieve
Buddhahood. The practice of sutra especially Mahayana and
Tantrayana enables us to actualize our basic inner goodness
which is within all of us. As such, there is a lot of hope
to overcome the sufferings of samsara and achieve liberation
if we practice the teachings perfectly with the help of a
spiritual master. Even though, both the general Mahayana
and tantrayana speaks of actualizing our true nature, the
means and methods to do so differs greatly. Khen Rinpoche
will explain in detail on this topic.
Duk Kar (White Umbrella)
Empowerment
Duk Kar (White Umbrella) empowerment will be
confer according to the Namcho cycle. The practice of Dur
Kar protects practitioners and helps them avoid obstacles.
This practice is for healing illness, dispelling harmful
interference and brining auspicious results.
Yumka Dechen Gyalmo
Empowerment & Teaching
The terma known as Yumka Dechen Gyalmo
(“Queen of Great Bliss”) was revealed by the omniscient
Jigme Lingpa, primary transmitter of the Longchen Nyingthig
cycle of Dzogchen teachings. Khenchen Pema Sherab Rinpoche
will confer the Yumka empowerment on Longchen Nyingthig
cycle.
Yumka is practiced on Dakini Day, 25th
day of Tibetan calendar, in our centre, Namdroling Monastery
and many other Palyul centres worldwide. Khen Rinpoche will
also teach on the practice text of Yumka “The Queen of
Great Bliss of Longchen Nyingthig”. This practice is an
especially efficacious means for purifying one’s Vajrayana
samaya. The central meditational deity of Yumka is the
Wisdon Dakini Yeshe Tsogyal, consort to Guru Rinpoche.
