A son of Golok Serta, Pema Jikmé Chöying Rangdrol was born in 1938 on the border of the lake Rakshas Tal, which is adjacent to Lake Manasarova and very close to Namkha Khyung Dzong in the Mount Kailash area of Western Tibet. He was recognized as an incarnation of Pema Degyal by many, such as Bartai Kungo Nyenye Yonten, and Düdjom Jigdrel Yeshe Dorje. Soon, he was installed on the throne of Namkha Khyung Dzong Monastery.After a life of serving the dharma, he passed away in the 1980s.
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.
