|tolExcerpt=Nyoshul Khenpo Jamyang Dorje (smyo shul mkhan po 'jam dbyangs rdo rje) was born in Derge, Kham (khams sde dge) in 1931. He was the third son of his father, whom he characterized as a "roaming bandit;" he also had three sisters. His paternal grandmother had been a student of Nyoshul Lungtok Tenpai Nyima (smyo shul lung rtogs bstan pa'i nyi ma, 1829-1901/1902), and Jamyang Dorje credited her with inspiring him to pursue the religious life. | |||
At the age of five he was brought to a local Sakya monastery where he was given refuge and underwent the traditional hair cutting ceremony under a distant relative named Jamyang Khyenpa Tobgye ('jam dbyangs mkhyen pa stobs rgyas). At the age of eight he enrolled at the monastery and learned to read and write, but was otherwise charged with taking care of the sheep. | |||
Wishing to have better religious instruction, at the age of twelve Jamyang Dorje went to study with Rigdzin Jampel Dorje (rig 'dzin 'jam dpal rdo rje), a master of Dzogchen and Mahāmudrā. Later, at Nyoshul Monasteryl (smyo shul dgon) in the Dzinkhok ('dzin khog) valley, upstream from Katok Monastery (kaH thog dgon), he received his monastic vows from Tubten Gomchok Lekden (thub bstan sgom mchog legs ldan, d.u.) There Jamyang Dorje received Dzogchen teachings from Nyoshul Lungtok Shedrub Tenpai Nyima (smyo shul lung rtogs bshad sgrub bstan pa'i nyi ma, b.1920), the reincarnation of his grandmother's teacher, Nyoshul Lungtok Tenpai Nyima, and a disciple of Khenpo Ngaga, Ngawang Pelzang (mkhan po ngag dga' ngag dbang dpal bzang, 1879-1941). | |||
Tenpai Nyima became his root teacher. He gave Jamyang Dorje the ''Nyengyu Men-ngak Chenmo'' (''snyan rgyud man ngag chen mo'') and other Dzogchen transmissions. At Nyoshul he studied the traditional texts of Buddhist doctrine including the ''Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra'', Madhyamaka, Prajñāpāramitā, and the entire Kangyur and Tengyur, training in the traditional twelve-year khenpo (''mkhan po'') curriculum until the age of twenty-four, and earning the title by which he was best known, Nyoshul Khenpo. | |||
