From his early age, Kyabje Chadral Rinpoche has gained mastery of the Dharma teachings through his wisdom, diligence, humility and high realizations, and he bowed at the feet of many spiritual guides who were impartial, great individuals. Out of the boundless teachings of the great Dharma ocean, and from the great depths of its philosophical wisdom like the endless universe, Rinpoche could grasp the most essential quintessence of them all. Not only was he able to merge these teachings with his own mind, Rinpoche has, in fact, put them into practice in his daily activities. Guru Rinpoche has warned us, time and again, that we should be very careful about our "view" and "conduct" and thus he said : "Though my view is higher than the sky, my conduct regarding cause and effect is finer than barley flour." Hence, it is most important for any practitioners that one should not lose one's view in the conduct, neither should one lose one's conduct in the view. However, for many Dharma practitioners, they usually let others see their "views" but it is very unlikely that they will put them into practice, and thus making the "view" and the "conduct" as two separate entities. All Dharma teachings, if not merged with one's mind and practiced in one's "conduct" will then become empty talks and are meaningless, and these will end up as worldly dharmas of some sort. The
great Khenpo Ngawang Palzang,
(also known as Khenpo Ngagi Wangpo, or secretly as Osal Rinchen Nyingpo
Pema Ledreltsal, an emanation of the MahaPandita Vimalamitra, 1879-1941),
the Dharma Regent of Kathok Monastery, was Kyabje
Chadral Rinpoche's crown jewel (root guru). His teacher conferred
a veritable ocean of teachings in the tantras, transmissions, and pith
instructions to him, as if he were filling a perfect container. When
Kyabje Chadral Rinpoche practiced all these teachings, the experience
and realization of Great Perfection (Dzogchen) welled up in his mind
and he became a true practitioner of the four visions. On one special
occasion, the great Khenpo Ngagi Wangpo Rinpoche
openly acknowledged Rinpoche as his sole inner, special spiritual heir
(lineage-holder), his regent of authentic realization, blessed
him, and bestowed a second name to crown him, Chadral
Sangye Dorje, mentioning that "his
mind and my mind are no different". ( Chadral
means the one who has abandoned all mundane activities; Sangye
is Buddha, the enlightened one; Dorje means
adamantine, which has seven special qualities of "unchanging, cannot
be cut, cannot be destroyed, stand firm, still as the sky, never being
defeated, and always victorious". )
