Pema Lungtok Gyatso
Pema Lungtok Gyatso (Wyl. pad+ma lung rtogs rgya mtsho) (1891-1964) was also known by the name Golok Wangdé Lingtrul. He was one of the principal heart-sons and dharma custodians of the great Tertön Dudjom Lingpa Traktung Dorje. Having attained the most excellent degree of scholarly learning and a lofty level of accomplishment, it seems he composed a great many works. Of these, today we may find only this presentation of the nine yanas, an explanation of the Chöd practice of Dudjom Lingpa and a collection of practices related to Tara.
Pema Lungtok Gyatso was assigned by Yeshe Tosgyal to help Dudjom Lingpa complete his autobiographies. He is considered a primary editor of the different autobiographies of Dudjom Lingpa and of most of Dudjom Lingpa's writings.
Pema Lungtok Gyatso was a pure monk who became a revered lama.He wrote an extensive Chöd commentary called "A Clear Guide to the CLose Lineage of Chöd Practice". This 744 pages commentary provide a guide to the Chöd practice in general, and to Dudjom Lingpa Nakmo Tröma's Chöd cycle in particular.
