Jikmé Püntsok Jungné
Born in the Do Chu valley, Jikmé Puntsok Jungné (1824–1863) was recognized as an incarnation of Jikmé Trinle Özer (The First Dodrubchen, 1745-1821).
Do Khyentsé Yéshé Dorjé, the great siddha and emanation of Jikmé Lingpa, recognized him and was his teacher and friend. During his short life, Jikmé Puntsok Jungné displayed many miraculous powers.
He established Dodrubchen Tsangchen monastery, in a plain in the Do Chu valley.
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.
