When the auspicious circumstances come together it will be revealed from the profound treasury of pure awareness and space and set down in final form. It is sealed with the seal of the enlightened body\, speech and mind of the dakinis and the seal of strictest samaya. Body protector Tagshön and Rahula\, skillfully guard these vajra words—SAMAYA GYA GYA GYA \nOne night\, when I was thirteen years old\, I met the Crazy Wrathful Guru Dorje Drolö in person in the monastery of Rigön Tashi Chöling in my homeland of Dokham. I prayed to him with single-pointed devotion\, and he said: “KYE HO—Listen\, destined heart-son. I am the intensely blazing wrathful blood drinker\, Pema Tötrengtsäl. There is no doubt that this practice of the Wrathful Guru\, the condensed pith instructions of the Utterly Secret Heart-Mind\, unified essence of the victorious ones of the three roots\, heart’s blood of all dakinis\, will prevent all obstacles and that the two types of accomplishments will definitely be attained\, so\, destined one\, keep it in your heart. This profound instruction will also be taught for the benefit of beings in the future during the extremely disturbed era of degeneration. You have always been inseparable from me\,” and added\, “You will experience the union of your mind and mine and\, from that time on\, be free of all sign of obstacles.” \nFurthermore\, in the middle of the night one night when I was doing a retreat on a Taksham Dorje Drolö terma called Zabmo Sangdu in Tashigang\, a supreme gathering place of the dakinis near the extremely secret site of Dewakota in the hidden land of Pemakö\, a limitless expanse of red light rose from the eastern direction and in its midst I saw a dark red wrathful figure wearing a cloak and extremely unbearable to look at. From my seat I instantly paid homage and\, with a relaxed expression\, Dorje Drolö touched my head three times with his maroon-colored face and gave me a Phurpa with a wrathful face he had been holding with his two hands and said\, “I am Wangdrak Drowolö. You are the destined one of the Lotus family. In the past you have taken several pure incarnations: among others\, previously you were Chogyang ‘The Horse Neigher’\, the perfectly accomplished Namkai Nyingpo\, Chag Zampa the powerful realized one\, Drime Özer\, miraculous emanation of primordial awareness\, and Pema Gyepai Dorje. Pema Longyang Rölpa Tsäl\, Dechen Dorje Ziji\, in a previous life I hid this extremely secret wrathful practice sealed with the seal of heart-mind in the ultimate space casket of your rigpa-awareness. Now is the time to reveal it. Bring it forth from the expanse of your mind and write it down—SAMAYA” \nMore communication to follow soon.
