He was born in Tranang Entsa in Central Tibet. In his thirteenth year he had seven visions of Guru Rinpoche. He found his first terma behind the Jomo statue of Tara in the Tradruk temple. In his fifteenth year in a cave at the Ökar rock, when Guru Padmasambhava came to him in person and granted him empowerment, he revealed many termas. Altogether he discovered 43 great terma troves and met Guru Rinpoche, Yeshe Tsogyal, Vairotsana and other such masters on numerous occasions.
The foremost of his termas is the Trilogy of Lama, Dzogchen and Avalokiteshvara (Wyl. bla rdzogs thugs gsum). He also revealed wonderful images and blessed substances, as well as Bön treasures, texts on medical science and astrology.
The name under which he is best known is Dorje Lingpa, but he is also called Pema Lingpa, Kunkyong Lingpa[1], Yungdrung Lingpa and Jampel Chökyi Shenyen.
