Mipham Chokyi Gyatso
THE 9TH GYALWANG DRUKPA (1823-1883)
Mipham
Chokyi Gyatsho, the
9th Gyalwang Drukpa, was extremely close to both the 14th
Karmapa, Theckchok Dorje, and the 8th Pawo Rinpoche. He
spent most of his life meditating in solitude. He was the
second Gyalwang Drukpa to concoct the famous liberation
pill called "Ja-Tsukma". Criticised for
remaining in seclusion, before passing away he promised to
return as two active tulkus, to teach and impartially
benefit all beings.
