Kathog Daji, Rigzin Chenpo – Padma Wangchen, a descendant of Mongolia.

From the age of 7 to 16, under the guidance of Guru Tudian Norbu, who is like a teacher and a father, he studied Tibetan, various Tibetan secret rituals, mudras, chanting, explanations, medicine and astrological calculations, and memorized scriptures, and obtained a special part of the Karma Rinchen Thousand Treasures (Tsewang Norbu), Master Doronata’s “Chakra Vajra Ear Transmission”, Dapupa’s Tara Tantra, etc., and learned the bodhisattva path from the worldly humanity to the world.

It is also recorded in the Matou Ming King’s Hidden Treasure Method taken by Master Kang Cang: Master is one of the holders of this method, and will carry forward this method to benefit countless sentient beings. Under the seat of Pak Yu Karma Chame Rinpoche, he received the empowerment, oral transmission and explanation of most of the teachings, oral transmissions and explanations of the Stages of Emergence by Dora Dian Bi Nyingma, as well as most of the complete works of Bai Yu Tianfa.

At the age of twelve, Gopa Rinpoche and Yogi Sogen (a direct disciple of the Mahasiddha Yuta) were amazed that at the age of 17 and 18, they were studying Tibetan history, ancient literature, the stages of the Lamrim, and the teachings and mantras of Atisha’s lineage of Tara under Gelupa Langgyal Rinpoche and Akk Tseeng.

Between the ages of 18 and 24, under the seat of the great achiever Shadral Sangyal Dorje Rinpoche of Yanglie Rinpoche, he received part of the teachings of the Thousand Treasures of Katuo, part of the teachings of the Katuo Transmission and the Near Transmission, the complete Dzogchen Dzogchen Teachings, and the Dzogchen Sinyan Teachings of the Dzogchen Teachings and the Journey to Dzogchen Teachings. During this period, he spent more than three years in long-term retreat at the Vajra Khim Resorts in Kathmandu, on the shores of Lake Pokari in Gorka, at Bodhi Springs and in the Hidden Snow Mountains. Outside of the retreat, with the permission of Guru Shadral Rinpoche, he received the complete teachings of the Katok Rind’s Thousand Jewels lineage, including empowerments, oral transmissions, and mantras, under the throne of the Yogi Mudmad.

Elder Katuo and renowned Dzogchen Yogi Nyushukhin Rinpoche earnestly instructed, “I am giving you the skull of Kadam Padsha, the founder of Katuo, the treasure of the Katuo lineage, so that you can keep the teachings of Vajra Tsangzang with the Three Wisdoms of Meditation and Meditation.” In Tibetan Buddhism, Rinpoche has the lineages of the Kadka, Baiyu, Lungchen, Dundrup, Kagyu and Jonang schools (for detailed lineage tables, please refer to the previous Longchen lineage, Katuo Rinchen Thousand Treasures Lineage Table, etc.).

Rinpoche was named the best young poet by the East Indian Tibetan newspaper Der Spiegel, and was named the best young writer by the editorial board of Nepal’s Himalayan Voice Magazine.

So far, in addition to 13 volumes of books on Tibetan Buddhism, Tibetan history, biographies, poetics, novels, etc., he has compiled all the Dharma collections of Katuo Rinchen Qianbao II Tsewang Norbu and the Dharma Collection of Master Doronata of the Jonang School.

More than nine years ago, at the invitation of the Katuo Renzhen Thousand Treasures Buddhist Society from Nepal, he came to Taiwan to learn pronunciation and alphabet at the Chinese Chinese Daily Center in Taipei for three months, and studied Chinese at the Chinese Literature Center of the Normal University for six months, that is, he was able to read countless Chinese classics such as Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching, University, Zhongyong, Analects, Mencius, Sun Tzu’s Art of War, Zizhi Tongjian and 300 Tang poems. So far, a total of 25 volumes of Renzhen Thousand Treasures have been printed in Taiwan.

Always take all sentient beings in mind and take the teachings as your thoughts, so that all your followers can achieve success. In view of the fact that sentient beings in the period of the end of the Dharma are heavy and shallow, retreat is actually a wonderful way to practice the path of liberation from birth and death, and the so-called “diligent retreat for one day is better than a thousand years of scattered practice.” Therefore, after eliminating all difficulties, in just one year, the retreat of 420 square meters was completed in Zhendu Village, Shengang Township, Taichung.
