Precious Teachings -HH Tulku Jigme Choeda || 70th Jekhenpo preaching Dharma | Bhutan || Buddhism
His Holiness the 70th Je Khenpo of Bhutan, Trulku Jigme Choedra, was born at Drubtse Goenpa, Kurtoe, on the fifth day of the seventh month in the Wood Sheep year of 1955.
HH’s birth was accompanied by many auspicious signs. As such, in HH’s mother’s vision, she saw that His Holiness’s entire body was imprinted with the Six Syllable Mantra of Avalokiteshvara.
Since the tender age of four, HH could vividly recall his own former lives, and was then recognized by the Great Yogi Lama Sonam Zangpo (root teacher of His Holiness Nyizer Trulku 67th Jekhenpo of Bhutan) as the reincarnations of: Geshe Pema Tshering (the learned sage of Tharpaling Temple in Bumthang who was also the spiritual teacher of the late Jigme Wangchuck King of Bhutan), Kheuchung Lotsawa (disciple of Guru Padmasambhava), Drubthob Saraha (one of the 84 Mahasiddhas), and Maitreya Buddha (heart son of Buddha Shakyamuni).
At the age of six in 1961, His Holiness went to Kalimpong, India, to receive the entire teachings of the Rinchen Terzoed from His Holiness Dudjom Rimpoche Jigdrel Yeshey Dorje. In 1963, at eight years, His Holiness joined Druk Sangag Choling Monastery in Darjeeling and received his Getshul Dompa (basic ordination) from Drukpa Thugsey Rinpoche. He studied ritual practices, recitations, and religious texts from Khenpo Sonam Dargye and Khenpo Noryang.
At the age of ten, His Holiness received the Kangyur Lung (transmission of Buddha’s teachings), Dudjom Tersar (treasure teachings of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche) and comprehensive blessings and empowerments of other important Buddhist texts from His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche in Kalimpong. Once again, at the holy place of Tsho Pema, India, His Holiness received the initiation and empowerment of the Rinchen Terzoed.
In 1970, at the age of 15, His Holiness arrived at the Tango Monastery at the lotus feet of the late 68th Je Khenpo Jetsun Tenzin Dhoendup, and was ordained as a monk at the Pung-Thim Dratshang. Thereupon, besides Rigney and Zhungchen Chusum (Buddhist philosophy), he also mastered Mahamudra practices (Chagchen) and meditations of Naro Choedrug (six cycles of Yoga Ro-Nyom Kordrug), which were taught by their Holinesses the late 68th Jekhenpo Jetsun Tenzin Dhoendup and the late 69th Jekhenpo Geshe Gedun Rinchen.
In 1974, at the age of 20, His Holiness received teachings from Lopen Sangay Tenphel at Tango Choeying Phordang. Between the age twenty-one to thirty, His Holiness received full teachings and empowerment of the Drukpa Kagyu tradition and Dzogchen (highest realization). In addition, at the age of 24, he also received full teachings and empowerment of Terton Pema Lingpa from His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche.
In 1983, at 28 years, under the patronage of Her Majesty Gyalyum Phuntsho Choden, His Holiness went to Darjeeling to undergo the intensive 3 years retreat.
Having completed the retreat, His Holiness arrived back to Bhutan in 1986 to serve as the principal of Tango Shedra, Thimphu.
His Holiness has notably completed his three-years retreat (Losum Choksum) three times. During the ten-year retreat, he undertook sacred practices of Vajrayana which includes La-drup, Demchog, Tandin, Dorji Phagmo, Sengdongma, Mithrugpa, Chenrezig and Dzogchen meditations. After a year, at 32 years old, on the auspicious 17th day of the Fire Rabbit year 1987, he was appointed as the Drabi Lopen (now Tshogki Lopen - Buddha Acharya) of the Zhung Dratshang.
At the age of forty, he was promoted as the Dorji Lopen of the Central Monk Body (Zhung Dratshang) by His Majesty the 4th Druk Gyalpo Jigme Singye Wangchuck. During his tenure as His Eminence Dorji Lopen, he elucidated the Kanjur and taught the thirteen texts of Terton Sangye Lingpa. He also delivered teachings of Nyondro (preliminary practice), Nyingthig, and Kuenzang Lami Zhelung (Nyingmapa teachings) in several Dzongkhags. He constructed temples such as the Kheng Tali Zangto Pelri Lhakhang, using his own contribution and offerings made by devotees.
