resume

Jigme Chökyi Wangpo was born in Dzachuka in Eastern Tibet in 1808. After he was recognized as the reincarnation of Pelge Samten Phüntshog (tib .: dpal dge bsam gtan phun tshogs ;? -1807) received the name 'Pelge Trülku ' (tib .: dpal dge sprul sku , abbreviated to 'Peltrül', tib .: dpal sprul ). He had a clear intelligence and great kindness of heart. As a child, Peltrül was appointed head of the monastery of his previous incarnation. He was trained by the yogi Jigme Gyelwe Nyugu (Tib .: 'jigs med rgyal ba'i myu gu ; 1765–1842), a student of the Dzogchen master Jigme Lingpa , who in turn had received his spiritual knowledge from Longchenpa through visions. Longchenpa was one of the founders of the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He had summarized the many techniques of Padmasambhava in one teaching.

In his youth, Peltrül was a perfectionist. He learned from many spiritual masters of his time and tried to implement their teachings perfectly. One day, however, he met the undogmatic master Doe Kyentse , who threw him to the ground and insulted him with the words: “You think you are a very clever monk. In reality, you haven't understood anything yet. You are nothing, an old dog. "

That was too much for the ambitious Peltrul. Completely shocked, he let go of all his perfectionism. He took Master's statement seriously, visualized himself as an old dog, and spontaneously broke through to enlightenment. After that he gave up his monastery career, called himself "Old Dog" and wandered around the country as a free yogi. He helped creatively where he was needed. He traveled the country as an inconspicuous master and only revealed himself when it was necessary.

Peltrül once lived with a young mother and her children for a long time. When he gave a lecture in a famous monastery, he made a lot of money and gave it to the young mother. The young woman now had enough money to last her whole life.

Peltrül practiced as a yogi in the Yamantaka cave for a long time and wrote his famous book The Words of My Perfect Teacher there . In it he explains in simple terms the path of Tibetan Buddhism, starting with the preparatory exercises, through deity yoga, to Amitabha meditation while dying.

The essence of the teaching
