Namkhé Nyingpo Namkhé Nyingpo Namkhé Nyingpo (Tib. ནམ་མཁའི་སྙིང་པོ་, Wyl. nam mkha'i snying po) (8th-9th century) - one of the twenty-five disciples of Guru Rinpoche. Biography Traditional sources recount that Namkhé Nyingpo was born into the Nub (Gnubs / Snubs) clan,[1] at Nyang Karda Shambu (Nyang dkar mda' sham bu).[2] Namkhé Nyingpo was ordained by Shantarakshita as one of the first Tibetan monks and he became a disciple of Padmasambhava. Namkhé Nyingpo learned Indic languages[3] and travelled to Nepal and India. According to the Pema Kathang, Namkhé Nyingpo was sent by King Trisong Deutsen together with four companions to India to seek teachings. There, they met and received teachings from Humkara in India.[4] During this time Namkhé Nyingpo also received the teachings on Shri Heruka (Yangdak Heruka) from Humkara.[5] Other sources recount that prior to Namkhé Nyingpo’s journey to India, Padmasambhava transmitted the Kagyé to his foremost Tibetan disciples. It was at that time, that Namkhé Nyingpo was for the first time entrusted with the practice of Shri Heruka.[6] In any case, all the sources agree that Namkhé Nyingpo was a close student of both Humkara and Padmasambhava. Namkhé Nyingpo also shared a close relationship with King Trisong Deutsen, since he served as both the king’s teacher and healer and transmitted the Shri Heruka teachings to King Trisong Deutsen. [7] Namkhé Nyingpo was exiled by ill-willed ministers, and thus settled at Lhodrak Kharchu (Tib. Lho brag khar chu), at the caves representing Padmasambhava’s enlightened mind, where he entered retreat. As a result of this retreat, Namkhé Nyingpo accomplished the mahamudra vidyadhara through Shri Heruka. As a sign of his realization, Namkhé Nyingpo is said to have been able to fly through the sky, riding the rays of the sun and is thus often painted like this.[8] Thus, Namkhé Nyingpo reached the same accomplishment as his teacher Humkara and becomes, so to speak, the Tibetan counterpart of the ‘Indian/Newar’ siddha Humkara. Following Samten Lingpa’s account, during his retreat Yeshé Tsogyal visited Namkhé Nyingpo and gave him the necessary instructions and empowerments to progress in his practice.[9] Yeshé Tsogyal continued to stay at Lhodrak Kharchu practicing Dzogchen, during which time she recounted her life-story to Namkhé Nyingpo and Gyalwa Changchub, who wrote it down and concealed it as a terma-treasure

You have the wrong picture of Lodrak Kharchu. Your picture is the Kharchu located in Bhutan. When Tibet was invaded by Chinese, many Rimpoches fleet the country, fortunately, Lam Namkhai Ningpo Rimpoche arrived at Bumthang, Bhutan where he founded this current Kharchu as his residence, where the current (reincarnated) Rimpche's residence, too. We were told that there is Kharchu in Tibet too.

[@mastersofbuddhism]

That is a very interesting information. Thank you. Do you by any chance have access to any photo of the Tibetan Kharchu?

[@jamyangloden4935]

Search Lhodrak Kharchu in Tibet.

During the invasion is 1950s Chinese army destroyed more than 3000 monasteries in Tibet, many shugden affiliated monasteries too. They looted the anxient sacred treasure and transported them to china in endless millitary convoys. Thats why ccp officials are so rich today. They send their children to study in USA.

I like how he used his siddhas to kick the evil ministers ass ,not just passive.👍👍💟

[@ThinleyDema-m5z]

The now Namkhé Nyingpo rinpoche is from Bhutan 🙏🙏🙏

[@shortsdeliveries]

Namkhai Nyingpo's karma is strange, even tough he has supreme realization, people keep trying to kill him through his many lifes. A previous reeincarnation of him was travelling through Bhutan and the Bhutanese gave him poison, he started vomiting blood and died immediately, you can visit the site until today where there is a red rock to simbolize which rock he vomited blood on, it's by a river. Today's incarnation is at Bhutan and he is doing very fine

Namkhai Nyingpo opened his chest to show what is inside. Namkhai Nyinpo flies too. Thats why he is sometimes referred to as...as the Hanuman of Tibet.

[@Rawang-p9v]

And who calls him hanuman? I bet many tibetans don't know who hanuman is or any other Hindu gods.

[@gyurmethlodroe1774]

@@Rawang-p9v Hindu Gods in Tibetan language. Brahma- Tsangpa Indra- Jajin Vishnu - Chap juk Ganesh - Tshog dak langna Shiva - wangchuk Kalima - Lhamo Dok nyema Lakshmi- Norjunma Saraswati - Yangchenma I can go on and on. Ignorant people think they know everything

[@Rawang-p9v]

@Gyurmeth Lodroe so I suppose you go to ask the Hindu worship places. Before you call ignorant to anyone, tell me who exactly calls him hanuman? People in Tibet or in exile? Hanuman was born on this earth as a human form, the ones that you mention hasn't. There are some of them who we Tibetans worship but Hindus also worship them so does that make them Buddhist? These gods goddesses were born before Buddha. They are just in a different world with supernatural powers and just because Hindu and Buddhist worship them, doesn't mean they can branded. Have you seen statues of Heruka standing on Shiva? So what do you think of that? I bet you celebrate navratri, Diwali, holi and others too.

[@gyurmethlodroe1774]

@@Rawang-p9v You dont have to go to hindu temple. Every buddhist ritual start with Tashi Tsekpa...there Hindu gods are mentioned. Every morning when student do prayers like " Rabzey yithrok" they are praying to saraswasti. See you are revealing more of your ignorance. Before replying check your firsr comment, "tibetans dont know anyother hindu Gods"

[@Rawang-p9v]

@Gyurmeth Lodroe why are they called Hindu gods anyways? Does that make us Hindu also or they cane be called Buddhist? How do you differentiate? Or do you also belive like manh Hindus claim that Buddhism is a part of Hinduism?
