Then, because he had other things to do for the development of his enlightened activity, and because it is in the nature of the Victorious Ones, he went to the Land of the Noble. There in the foreign residence of Drupong Dzogchen he filled the rôle of Khenpo (abbot and master of studies) for four years and continually dispensed the nectar of the three vehicles of Dharma to many thousands of lay and ordained men and women. It was also while he was there that he founded a Dharma Centre of the Nyingthik Diamond Vehicle. At that time Choktrul Sogyal Rinpoche offered him the title of supreme Dorje Lopön (master of ritual), and repeatedly requested that he remain for a long time in that external seat of Dzogchen Monastery.

Also at that time, the true master of the ocean of teachings of the ancient translations whose face is no different from that of great Kuntuzongpo, the master of our lineage whose name it is difficult for me to pronounce, but whom I have reason to name here, Minling Trichen Gyurme Kunzong Ongyal, the glorious and good, of infallible and immutable speech, announced that he had discovered a truly-emanated young moon as a protector for the assembly of disciples. Furthermore, the wish-fulfilling jewel, the supreme refuge, Shapchoke Dzogchen, also announced that he was the true reincarnation of the former tulku, and offered him the crown title of holder of the teachings of Drupe Ongshuk Gyalwa Dzogchenpa.

So it is that at this time and in this world wherever the sun rises and sets, this learned, pure and good being, this precious supreme tulku, dispenses the nectar of the very profound Dharma to innumerable extremely fortunate beings of different races and tongues, according to their capacities and wishes. In this way he lives, and remains in good health.

Glorious protector of beings, of those from the exquisitely beautiful,
Perfectly snow-ringed field and of all others without exception,
Ranyak Patrul, enlightened supreme tulku,
May the bases of your life be forever deep and firm.

Once those who not being able to stand
The flow of your vast activity and harm you
Have been pacified, without effort and quite spontaneously
May the wishes of your incomparable heart be fully realized.

As the peerless and greatly bounteous true lama
Is the only origin of the Virtuous Ones of the ten directions,
So this brief biography about enlightened activity
Is part of the cause that leads to Great Bliss.

This error-free and completely honest biography was written with respect by Gyurme Ngödrup Darjee, more commonly known as Dzogchen Drakpa , a miserable student of the great monastery Pal Oming Orgyen Mindrolling, on the fourteenth day of the third Tibetan month in the year of the earth hare, the seventeenth rapgyen (sixty-year cycle), 29th April 1999. May everything be auspicious, auspicious.

May the most excellently virtuous
study and practice of Dzogchen Monastery,
origin of the teachings of the Victorious Ones,
spread in the fields of the ten directions;
May its enlightened activity shine brightly; and
May the appearances of the beings of this world
be brought under its control.
