Trülku Péma Wangyal
The fourth son of Sonam Déu’tsen—the mind emanation and a grandson of Düdjom Lingpa—Tulku Padma Wangyal (1953-1990) was a contemporary hidden yogi of the Düdjom Tersar lineage. His main teachers include Sera Yangtrul Tsultrim Gyatso (1925-1988), an incarnation of Tulku Drimé Özer (1881-1924); and two grandsons of Düdjom Lingpa: Tulku Dampa (1928-1983) and Tulku Nyida (1929-1985).
After his passing in 1990, Tulku Pema Wanglo’s body—though tall man— shrunk to the size of an arrow of 40cm. He achieved the rainbow body, the greatest signs of realization.
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.
