The History of Mindrolling: Part XIX

The 8th Trichen of Mindrolling Gyurme Yidzhin Wangyal

The 8th Mindrolling Trichen Gyurme Yidzhin Wangyal was born as the son of the seventh Mindrolling Trichen Sangye Kunga. From an early age he received extensive training and teachings in both the Sutra and Tantra traditions from his own revered father, the seventh Mindrolling Trichen as well as eminent teachers of his time.

Endowed with all the perfect qualities of teachings, practice and activities, he served to strengthen the foundation of the Buddhadharma in general and in particular the profound Nyingma lineage by upholding, preserving and spreading the precious teachings of the Buddha throughout the Land of Snow.

Displaying realization of all outer, inner and secret aspects of the unsurpassable wisdom teachings, his continuous stream of enlightened activities benefitted many practitioners and led to the flourishing of the Kama and Terma teachings.

His entire life is recalled by many great masters and a wonderful example of simplicity, wisdom and great compassion for everyone held without any bias or partiality.
