Pabongka Rinpoche

Pabongka Rinpoche

Pabongka Rinpoche (bo|t=ཕ་བོང་ཁ་|w=Pha-bong-kha; also spelt Phabongkha), Jampa Tenzin Trinlay Gyatso, (1878-1941) was one of the great Gelug lamas of the modern era of Tibetan Buddhism. He was the root lama of both Ling Rinpoche and Trijang Rinpoche, the two tutors of the present Dalai Lama.

Early life

Pabongka Rinpoche was born north of Lhasa, Tibet. His root guru was Dagpo Lama Rinpoche (sometimes spelt Tagpo or Thagpo).

Teaching

In 1921 at Chuzang Hermitage near Lhasa, Pabongka Rinpoche gave a historic 24-day exposition on the Lam Rim, or "stages of the path," that was attended by some seven hundred Tibetan monks, nuns and lay people. These teachings were recorded and edited by one of his main students, Trijang Rinpoche, who later became the Junior Tutor of the 14th Dalai Lama. Published in Tibetan in 1958 they were translated into English and published as "Liberation in the Palm of Your Hand" in 1991. Pabongka Rinpoche was the first Gelug teacher who taught lay persons outside the monasteries and became very influential.

Controversies

Pabongka Rinpoche was at times at odds with the 13th Dalai Lama over Pabongka's antagonism toward the Nyingma lineage, which arose from a bout of serious illness he believed stemmed from his adoption of Nyingma practices as a young man. His related advocacy of the Dorje Shugden protector practice was also a divisive issue in the Tibetan Buddhist world. Fact|date=September 2008

According to Stephen Batchelor Pabongka inherited the practice of Dorje Shugden from his mother’s family, and as a young man also received transmissions from Nyingma lamas. After a serious illness he became convinced that the disease was a sign from Shugden to stop practicing Nyingma teachings, which he did. Fact|date=September 2008
