This article continues the series by Lama Padma Drimed Norbu on the lineage holders of
the profound path of the Great Perfection.
There were wondrous signs at the birth of Orgyen Palgon Grubwang, and from an early
age he gave every indication that he was a tulku (intentional incarnation). He became a student
at Mindroling Monastery, where he learned and practiced the treasure teachings of that school.
While he was there, he took full ordination as a monk and maintained these vows throughout
his life. As a Vajrayana practitioner, he became known as the “Vajra Holder in Saffron Robes.”
He was one of the finest scholars at Mindroling.
While in retreat he meditated on the Eight Commands for Sadhana Practice; he had visions
of his chosen deities and received many other signs of accomplishment. His main practice was
the nyingt’hik (heart essence) teachings of the Great Perfection.
When the time came for Gyalse Rinchen Namgyal, head of Mindroling Monastery, to se-
lect a lineage holder, he conferred the appropriate empowerments and teachings upon Orgyen
Palgon Grubwang.
Little more is known or has been written about this master of awareness, who served the
teachings of the Great Perfection without gathering a large number of disciples. He focused his
enlightened intent particularly on his heart son, Jigme Lingpa, giving him the Great Perfection
empowerments and teachings in their entirety.
