 | | His family originated with Achak Dru, one of the six original Tibetans who were born of the union of the Monkey Bodhisattva (an emanation of Avalokiteshvara) and the female Rock Demoness, whose descendant was a general of the king of Mongolia. |
 | | Mipham said, “If I am to be the Rigdzin King, Drakpo Chakkor Chen, the Wrathful Wielder of the Iron Wheel, I should be able to handle them.” When Mipham was staying near Ga To, the Chinese army came near, but was not able to come close to the lama’s residence, and had to go away. |
 | | This was translated and adapted from Samantabhadra Dharmakirti’s short biography of Jamgon Mipham, found in Mipham’s collected writings, by Lhobpon Rechungpa and Eric Forgeng, during the teaching of the Beacon of Certainty at Tashi Choling, in the Spring of 2003. |
