uru Ngawang Gyaltral was born on January 15 1969 (Tibetan calendar) in Qing Hai, Hai Nan province. Born in the eminent Tibetan Royal family named, Langpo, many of Guru’s ancestors were enlightened monks and masters. The Langpo sovereign’s tradition was highly regarded, and was well documented and preserved till now.Pagmo Drolma, Guru’s mother, is virtuous and compassionate. Unceasingly, she chants the Chenrezig mantra daily.  He received the novice monk precept from Guru Lama Yongtsen when he was eighteen, named Ngawang Gyaltral which means king of ocean speech. Afterwards, he went to Tarer Monastery (the major temple of Gelugpa in Qing Hai) and learned from the 4 great Regent (Guru Lobsang Dorje, Gecha Tulku who is the emanation of Chenrezig, Guru Yeshe Gyaltral and Guru Dujom Churchong).
Guru was an outstanding student with extraordinary wisdom; endowed with exceptional perseverance and diligence in the pursuance of his studies, he was able to complete his studies in advance with spectacular results. He lived under poor condition, ate only bread and cold water and slept only 3 hours a day in order to have more time to study. He is skilful in the 5 Treatises On Stages, Different Lineage Commentary, The 3 Paths Of Bodhi (8 Noble Guides), 5 Treasures (Generation stage and Completion Stage), 4 Tantras and 10 Principal Pratices. When he was a student, many of his outstanding classmates became his disciples. |
His birth was accompanied by extraordinary signs, and fell on the auspicious day whereby Shakyamuni Buddha suppressed the 6 non Buddhist priests. Before and after his birth, his parents have had various mystical encounters, and had extremely auspicious dreams on many occasions. Guru’s family once had Prajnaparamita Diamond Sutra, Heart Sutra, Grand Prajnaparamita Sutra and 100000 Stanzas of Prajnaparamita written by Sheribu (Buddha’s top ten disciples) which were passed down by the former ancestors. Many of them attained enlightenment from reading them.
Guru Ngawang Gyaltral is endowed by nature with unusual intelligence. He is respectful to the elderly and loving to the young. He was out of the ordinary in his childhood. His passion for Buddhism was immense; at the age of 7, he chanted Prajnaparamita Diamond Sutra, Lion Face Dakini Mantra, Amitabha and 21 Tara Praises daily. He was well regarded by the villagers when he was a child and many of his deeds became the villagers’ favourite folk tales.
