In this school, the Pawo Rinpoches are traditionally an emanation of the Bodhisattva Vajrapani .
history
The incarnation line of the Nenang Pawo Rinpoches is closely related to that of the Gyalwa Karmapas , who are the highest lamas of the Karma Kagyu.
The 1st Pawo Rinpoche was born around the middle of the 15th century in Yarlung, central Tibet . He was given the title Pawo (Hero) because of his supernatural abilities. On the advice of the population and the 7th Karmapa Chödrag Gyatsho , the 1st Pawo Rinpoche chose Sekhar Guthog (Tib .: sras mkhar dgu thog ; also: lho brag rdzong ) as his headquarters.
The 2nd Pawo Rinpoche Tsuglag Threngwa was a student of the 8th Karmapa Mikyö Dorje and known for his high level of learning. He wrote u. a. historical texts, a well-known commentary on Shantideva's Bodhicharyavatara , an extensive work on astrology and biographies.
The 5th Pawo Rinpoche moved the headquarters of the Pawo Rinpoches after the political upheavals at the time of the 5th Dalai Lama in 1673/1674 to the Nenang Monastery , which is located near the Tshurphu Monastery. The title Nenang Pawo Rinpoche therefore comes from this time.
The 7th Pawo Rinpoche established good relations with Nepal at the time of the 13th Karmapa Düdul Dorje . In 1758, together with the 7th Drugchen Rinpoche , Kagyü Thrinle Shingta (1718–1766), he was responsible for the reconstruction of the large stupa in Swayambhunath initiated by Kathog Rigdzin Tshewang Norbu (1698–1755) .
The 10th Pawo Rinpoche was recognized by the 15th Karmapa Khakyab Dorje . In 1959 he and the 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje fled from the People's Liberation Army to Bhutan . He later traveled on to Kalimpong . At the request of the 14th Dalai Lama Tendzin Gyatsho , he was a teacher at the Sanskrit University in Benares between 1962 and 1966 . After this time he lived in the Dordogne department for a few years . In 1986 he founded the Nenang Phüntshog Chöling monastery near Bodnath , where he stayed until his death.
The 11th Pawo Rinpoche was recognized by Orgyen Thrinle Dorje in 1994 . He was enthroned in 1995 in the Nenang Monastery and was given the name “Tsuglag Tendzin Künsang Chökyi Nyima”. After Orgyen Thrinle Dorje fled Tibet, Tsuglag Tendzin Künsang Chökyi Nyima was taken from his monastery and brought to Lhasa .
