Ayang Rinpoche is wideley considered to be the world's living master of Phowa.
Rinpoche has received many teachings, including the Kalachakra initiation from H.H. the Dalai Lama in Lhasa; the initiations and oral transmissions of Chagchen Kundzod Chig She Kundrol and a special Mahamudra introduction from H.H. the sixteenth Gyalwa Karmapa. From Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, he received the Dam Nag Dzod, which contains the essence of all the initiations and teachings of all schools. Born into a nomadic family in eastern Tibet, Rinpoche was recognized as an incarnation of a Drikung Kagyu lama by a delegation of high lamas, including the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa. He received his early education at the primary Drikung monastery and then continued his studies at the Drikung philosophical college. He then went on pilgrimage in Tibet to many of the holy places of Guru Rinpoche. Rinpoche completed a lengthy retreat at Phulung, the place where Guru Rinpoche practiced Phowa. At the end of his retreat, he performed an offering puja. It was attended by many members of the neighboring Naga tribe, who came with offerings and circumambulated Rinpoche?s retreat place while performing mantras of Guru Rinpoche. Rinpoche felt that this was a sign that in the future he would be teaching Phowa in foreign countries. He was in Denmark for the first time in December 1978 and again in May-June 2003, when these photos were taken. This last visit was arranged by Karmapa Trust. |
