His Unsurpassed Excellent Wisdom

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". )

In giving his authorization, seal, and prayers of aspiration, the great treasure revealer (Terchen) Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje wrote the following:
King of renunciates of the definitive meaning,
Regent of awareness-holders manifest to benefit beings,
Master of enlightened activity, any connection to you is meaningful: Lord Vajra Master, think of me!


Both Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche II and Kyabje Chadral Rinpoche transmitted teachings to each other (which is a common practice in Tibetan Buddhism) and they respected each other very much. When Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche transmitted all the teachings of the Dudjom Tersar Lineage to Kyabje Chadral Rinpoche and authorized him as his Vajra Regent, he wrote the following declaration, which is well-known to all Dharma practitioners of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism :
