With Drupon Lama Karma.
Retreat master (drüpon) Lama Karma was born in Tashi Yangtse region in eastern Bhutan near Pemaling, a sacred hidden site of Padmasambhava. His life of spiritual practice was rigorously trained and engaged in very strict retreats under the guidance of his root teacher Terton Pedgyal Lingpa Rinpoche and the prophesized Dharma holder, Lama Naljorpa Rinpoche for many years. To mention a few of his strict meditation retreats, he spent: eight months at Long-Nying Choling Monastery, three years at Tashi Yangtse Charnel Ground, two years at the snow peak of Pema Ling, the sacred site of Guru Rinpoche, two years at Sengye Dzong, six years at Phurpaling, and three years as a retreat Master at Paro Pema Yangdzong retreat center. He also continues with three months strict retreat annually in addition to teaching and presiding over various drupchens and drupchods in Pedgyal Lingpa affiliated monasteries in Bhutan.
Drüpon is renowned as a genuine retreat master throughout Bhutan and has been one of the most important Bhutanese lamas to maintain the tradition of Terton Pedgyal Lingpa. This is in large part because of serving as Pedgyal Lingpa’s scribe and attendant for many years. Drüpon even bestowed the oral-transmission of Pedgyal Lingpa’s Kusum Gongdü in 1988 for many Tulkus, Lamas and devotees, while the empowerments were offered by the Terton Pedgyal Lingpa himself. Since Pedgyal Lingpa’s parinirvana, Drüpon continues to serve his root master’s lineage by disseminating his teachings. Today, his students include many tulkus, khenpos, lamas and lay practitioners in Bhutan, primarily practicing within the Kusum Gongdü Tradition. He still continues as retreat master in one of Pedgyal Lingpa’s main centers, Pema Yangdzong Monastery in Paro, Bhutan. He thereby is of invaluable benefit to the many, committed Buddhist practitioners remaining in retreat based on his experience garnered over the past six decades.
