To the embodiment of Kuntrul Nampa Gyalwa of Trowo (place name), I prostrate from my heart to the Lama who illuminates. Moreover, the lord of the lineage of the thousand Buddhas who guide beings in this fortunate eon, although having attained Buddhahood before all Buddhas, until samsara is empty, the vow to eliminate obstacles to the teachings and beings, which cannot be erased even by the army of desire gods, manifested as the embodiment of the great Lord of Yoga, the one who possesses the power to subjugate gods, demons, and humans, immediately upon meeting him, he prepared to bestow the empowerment of longevity accomplishment and conquering the four maras, and I received the auspicious coincidence as desired, and received the kindness of meeting, prostrating, and making aspirations, this is an excellent virtue that has become a great fortune! After that, the caretaker Nyidrak arrived there, and went with the returning people, and arrived at Dzing Takmo Monastery. The dance of space pervades the Dharmakaya, the dance of the Sambhogakaya pervades beings, the activity of the Nirmanakaya pervades all. In order to pervade, I prostrate to the supreme Mind at Rest, Suryakirti who illuminates beings. Those accomplished masters who have attained high levels of the path, are not just one aspect of peace, but the dance of emanations. In order to transform Samye Monastery, the one who demonstrates the supreme vehicle, I have faith in the embodiment who raises the banner of the teachings. Moreover, previously, Gerto Norbu Drakdul, mother and son, came to request the empowerment of a thousand Buddhas, from the preparation for that empowerment onwards, to the complete reception, it is the kindness of the Lama and Dharma friends. Again, passing through the road of Zhirong, fearing the dangers of enemies and thieves on the way, without any negligence, they arrived at Kathok Dorje Den. The vast treasury of compassion, Mani Ka, the beautiful ornament at the top of the banner of teachings and beings, Kathokpa, whose fame is boundless, I respectfully prostrate to the support and the supported. At this time, it was heard that the venerable Drimey Zhingkyong Gonpo was in very strict retreat, so I did not go to visit him. Furthermore, thinking that if I went there, the Goloks would not send me to Palyul, holding onto foolish attachment, without meeting anyone, I secretly proceeded to Palyul. Following the thoughts and aspirations of beings' fortune, the distinctions of Dharma and individuals are beyond imagination. Therefore, according to what is to be tamed, skillful means, illusory dance, Ka

尊胜智(藏文:ུན༷་བཟ༷ང་ཤེ༷ས་ར༷བ་)之名我以头顶礼敬。如是,虽喜悦抵达འདའ་ཀོ་རི་ཁྲོད(音译:埃科日卓)之地,然当时寺主噶玛扎西因朝拜舞蹈之旅的禁忌所阻,数日未被允许进入寺院,内心极其痛苦。之后,逐渐设法与外地僧人相见,进入寺院僧侣之列。自此之后,未能如愿获得灌顶、教导和传承,数年过去。虽然之前在暗室的修行如纳税般结束,但心仍不满足,再次住了三七日。诸佛之智慧、慈悲、能力,无可衡量。同样,事业之行持也随之而来。因此,于何者皆宜,乃调伏之友。顶礼恩重如山的邬金扎西之足。当时,从尊贵的上师处,立即获得了གནམ་ཆོས་བདེ་ཆེན་ཞིང་ཆོག(音译:南却德钦辛确)的所有灌顶和传承,上师仁波切亲自主持长寿法,完成了念诵、修持、事业三事,以及火供和补缺。之后,又从噶玛扎西处获得了金刚橛扬达上师(藏文:ཕུར་པ་ཡང་གསང་བླ་མེད)的少许灌顶和传承。当时,为了在ཀཿཐོག(噶陀寺)请求丸药瓶灌顶而前往,与现在的དགེ་རྩེ་སྤྲུལ་སྐུ་རིན་པོ་ཆེ(格泽祖古仁波切)升座同时。获得了丸药修法的灌顶。仅从噶陀巴大师的帷幕后进行了拜见,之后又返回འདའ་ཀོ་(埃科)寺。那时,一些གེ་གསེར(格萨尔)的头人前来求法,从他们口中详细听闻了我父母双亡的缘由,感受到了如天地倒转般的巨大痛苦,难以忍受,但在无计可施的情况下徘徊,心中浮现出这样的想法:养育我身体的父母已经不在了,现在应该按照将心转向佛法的上师们的教导,像无依无靠的野兽一样,在无定的地方游荡。虽然这样的想法从内心深处涌现,但当时下部的旅人来往频繁。我的叔父喇嘛寄来了大约十件布料,还有我自己准备做僧衣的一些优质粗布,卖掉后得到了一些财物。向དཔལ་ཡུལ(白玉寺)、ཀཿཐོག(噶陀寺)、དཔལ་སྤུངས(八蚌寺)、ཞེ་རྫོགས་(协庆寺)等寺院的喇嘛们供奉了供养。

I bow with my head to the one known as Dunsang Sherab. Thus, although I arrived with joy at the hermitage of Dakori, at that time, the abbot Karma Tashi, due to travel restrictions for dance performances, prevented me from entering the monastery for several days, causing me immense sadness. Later, I gradually found ways to meet with foreign monks and joined the ranks of the monastery's monks. From then on, my hopes for receiving empowerment, guidance, and transmission were not fulfilled, and several years passed. Although my previous practice in the dark room was completed like paying taxes, I was not satisfied and stayed for another three weeks. The wisdom, compassion, and power of all the Buddhas are immeasurable. Similarly, the engagement in activities followed thereafter. Therefore, to each according to their needs, a friend to be tamed. I bow to the feet of the kind Ogyen Tashi. At that time, immediately upon receiving the complete empowerment and transmission of Namchö Dechen Zhingchok from the venerable master, the Lama Rinpoche himself presided over the longevity practice, completing the three activities of recitation, practice, and action, as well as the fire offering and fulfillment. Later, I received a small amount of empowerment and transmission of the Vajrakila Yangsang Lame from Karma Tashi. At that time, I went to Kathok to request the pill vase empowerment, coinciding with the enthronement of the current Getse Tulku Rinpoche. I received the empowerment of pill practice. I only had a brief audience from behind the curtain of the great Kathokpa, and then returned to Dakko Monastery. At that time, some leaders of Gesar came to seek Dharma, and I heard from them in detail the reasons for the death of both my parents, experiencing intense suffering like the world turning upside down, which was unbearable, but I wandered about helplessly, and the following thought arose in my mind: Since the parents who gave rise to my body are no more, now I must, according to the instructions of the lamas who turn the mind to Dharma, wander in uncertain places like a masterless wild animal. Although this thought arose from the depths of my heart, at that time, there was a lot of travel to and from the lower regions. My uncle Lama had sent about ten pieces of cloth, and I also had some high-quality wool to make robes, which I sold to get some goods. I offered dedications to the lamas of Pelyul, Kathok, Palpung, and Dzogchen monasteries, and the remainder...

变成了那样。又去月曲(Zla-chu)寻找,比以前稍微好了一点。再次返回白玉(dPal-yul)时,噶贡·曲尼(ka-sgom chos-nyid)也成了去噶陀(kaH-thog)的同伴。路上被阿儿(Ar)强盗袭击,被击退后,将武器放回原处。到达阿多的住处时,家乡的叔叔发誓说绝对不能再回家乡,并寄来信,产生了照做的想法,于是前往家乡,到达噶陀(kaH-thog)。 2无垢智悲力,光芒万丈照。 三身刹土中,所化莲花苑。 圆满绽放者,以利乐精华,养育诸有情。 怙主金刚持,您乃恒常怙。 也就是说,将包含显有世间和寂灭涅槃的一切法,都了悟为法性一味的游舞,并将一切众生引入甚深道金刚藏的无上妙法之主,秘密真言之大转轮王面前,2大伏藏主降魔者(gter-chen bdud-'dul),以金刚橛的灌顶、传承、祈愿、嘱托等,安置于具善缘者的地位。之后,与宗果·衮波(stong-skor dbon-po)、尼瓦·饶赛(snyi-ba rab-gsal)等我们一起,一路平安地到达了自己的家乡。那时,叔叔高兴地说:“你以后会在整个藏区出名,现在这个苦乐对你没什么好处。”我的家乡就像2至尊米拉日巴的家乡一样,亲戚们都像看到鬼魔一样。然而,除了叔叔喇嘛给予慈爱的安慰之外,其他亲戚朋友没有丝毫帮助,因此非常沮丧,想去其他地方,但年轻的弟弟不听劝告,不得不留在这个糟糕的地方,发生了很多问题。我二十五岁末回到家乡,直到三十三岁,都在进行降伏敌人、守护亲友等世间八法的事情。然而,在那里居住期间,以前的朋友和我一起,对贝若扎纳(bai-ro-tsa-na)曾以足迹加持过的古苏托(sku-bso-thog)嘉瓦静处(rgyal-ba'i dben-gnas)进行了百次绕转和磕长头。名叫尼科·达吉林(snyi-khog dar-rgyas-gling)

It turned out that way. Again, I went to Zla-chu to search, and it was slightly better than before. When I returned to Pal-yul, Ka Gom Chonyi also became a companion to go to Kathog. On the way, I was attacked by Ar bandits, but after repelling them, I put the weapons back in their place. When I arrived at Ada's residence, my uncle from my hometown swore that I could never return to my hometown and sent a letter. I had the idea to do as he said, so I set out for my hometown and arrived at Kathog. 2 Obeisance to the light of stainless wisdom and compassion's power, In the three-bodied pure lands, a lotus garden for beings to be tamed, Completely blooming, nurturing with the essence of benefit and joy, Protector, Vajradhara, you are my eternal refuge. That is to say, understanding all phenomena, encompassing the phenomenal world and nirvana, as the play of the single Dharmata, and leading all beings into the supreme method of the profound path, the Vajra Essence, the supreme master of the secret mantra, the great Chakravartin, from whose presence, 2 the Great Treasure Revealer, Demon Subduer (gter-chen bdud-'dul), with the empowerment, transmission, aspiration, and entrustment of the Vajra Kilaya, placed me in the position of the fortunate ones. After that, together with Tongkor Wonpo and Nyiwa Rabsal, we arrived safely in our hometown without any trouble along the way. At that time, my uncle was very happy and said, "You will become famous throughout Tibet in the future, but this current happiness and suffering will not benefit you." My hometown is like 2 Jetsun Milarepa's hometown, and all the relatives seem to see ghosts and demons. However, apart from the loving comfort given by my uncle Lama, no relatives or friends helped in the slightest, so I was very depressed and wanted to go to another place, but my younger brother did not listen to advice, so I had to stay in that bad place, and many problems occurred. I returned to my hometown at the end of my twenty-fifth year, and until my thirty-third year, I was only engaged in worldly affairs such as subduing enemies and protecting relatives. However, during my stay there, my former friend and I made a hundred circumambulations and prostrations to the Gyalwa hermitage at Kusotho, which had been blessed by the footsteps of Vairochana. It is called Nyikhok Dargyeling.
