is Holiness Pabongka Rinpoche was the definitive Master of the Gelugpas in the 20th Century.
He was the root guru of both Kyabje Trijang Dorje Chang and Ling Dorje Chang. Of course, they were the root teachers of the current 14th Dalai lama.
Many of the lineages and precious teachings among the Gelug Masters directly or indirectly came from Pabongka Rinpoche.
He was recognized as being a Heruka Cakrasamvara emanation.
Geshe Tsultrim Gyeltsen told me before that when people attended initiation of Heruka by Pabongka Rinpoche, many witnessed this:
1. That when Pabongka Rinpoche asked the wisdom beings to dissolve into the students, ppl in the audience would shake from the blessings.
2. Many witnessed a third eye appear on His forehead during initiations.
There are many incredible stories regarding the sublime actions of this great lama.
Even the current incarnation living in Nepal, people would sometimes see him as Vajra Yogini. Meaning, they would be looking at Him, then they blink their eyes and see a Red Lady in His place, then blink and it would be Him again! This was told to me by a senior revered lama of Sera many years back. He himself witnessed this phenomena.
How blessed to see this holy image.
