Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Tertön Sogyal

After Tertön Sogyal had spent over five years in retreat in Drikok, he went to Dzongsar to meet the greatest living master of the day, Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo. Their meeting was not by chance, as clearly found in many prophecy and predictions. During their first meeting, Jamyang Khyentse declared the young tertön as an authentic treasure revealer after he put Tertön Sogyal through a number of esoteric tests. Thereafter, Tertön Sogyal studied with and served Jamyang Khyentse for many years. Fearless in Tibet has a number of stories about Jamyang Khyentse and Tertön Sogyal’s work to reveal treasures teachings together, how Jamyang Khyentse gave Khandro Pumo (Tertön Sogyal’s wife) a Dharma name, and how Jamyang Khyentse extended the life of Tertön Sogyal through longevity rituals. In one account (from Tsultrim Zangpo) translated in Fearless in Tibet, we have Jamayang Khyentse’s direct words about their relationship and the manner in which Tertön Sogyal took care of his teacher and served as a ritual assistant.
