Péma Lungtok Gyatso
Commonly known as Golok Serta, Pema Lungtok Gyatso (1891-1963/64) was a great Tröma practitioner of the Namkha Kyungdzong branch of the Düdjom Tersar lineage. Having met Düdjom Lingpa as a child, he trained primarily under Goser Önpo Khyenrab Gyatso and Pema Degyal, two senior direct disciples of Düdjom Lingpa. He became a principal lineage holder of the Tröma Nakmo practice in Western Tibet around Mount Kailash and the Humla region, with his family descendants becoming the primary holders of Namkha Kyungdzong.
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.
