Reincarnation and Spiritual Continuity: The Legacy of Lama Ngawang Tshiring Dondub
September 06, 2023
Lama Ngawang Tshiring Dondub (1898-1958) was a highly esteemed and beloved lama. His reincarnation, Ngawang Shedrub Tenpe Gyaltsen, was born in Rowling in 1958. Following in the footsteps of his predecessor, he was a revered figure in the spiritual community.
In 2011, another reincarnation of Lama Ngawang Tshiring Dondub, named Tulku Ngawang Trinley Palbar, was born in Farak Jorsle. This new incarnation was officially recognized by Kyabje Tengbuche Rinpoche Ngawang Tenzin Sangpo as the Tulku of Lama Ngawang Shedrub Tenpe Gyaltsen.
In February 2015, a significant ceremony took place at the sacred Maratika cave, where the traditional ritual of cutting Tulku's hair was conducted. This event marked an important milestone in the recognition of the reincarnation.
After the devastating earthquake of 2015, Tulku Ngawang Trinley Palbar was welcomed to Thame Gomba, where he has been pursuing his studies. His spiritual journey continues in the footsteps of his esteemed predecessors.
