Gara Gyalsé Péma Namgyal
Born in 1882, Gara Gyalsé Péma Namgyal was the son of Gara Terchen Péma Düdul Wangchuk Lingpa of Pennak Monastery in Golok.
When Déwé Dorjé Sera Khandro was summoned to dispel obstacles to his father's longevity, Yakshülza—Gara Terchen's wife—prevented their union, and Gara Terchen soon passed away.
Gara Gyalsé Péma Namgyal subsequently became Déwé Dorjé Sera Khandro's husband.
He is also counted among the teachers of Jadral Sangyé Dorjé.
Since the early 8th century, Tibetans and Himalayan people have treasured "Namtars" as written or spoken narratives that demonstrate the realization of the Buddhist path by exceptional practitioners. These namtars, or spiritual biographies, serve as inspirational guides on the path to enlightenment.
Today, Namtars Foundation aims to record, preserve, and freely offer the world a written and electronic treasury of the oral wisdom of Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhism.
