In his outer autobiography, Dudjom Lingpa recounts how he was told by his primary protector that Patrul Rinpoche will reincarnate as one of his sons[2]:
- In 1887 [while I was 53], I gave teachings in Bochung Tashul’s home. During this time I wondered, “Is my homestead well?” Nöjin Shenpa Marnak, Dark Red Noxious Spirit Butcher, appeared in a dream one night. […]. [He] arrived in front of me proclaiming, “If you have something you don’t know or understand, I will tell you all about it. I asked, “Is my family well?” He told me, “They are well. This year Palgé Tulku, Glorious Virtue [Patrul Rinpoche], is going to come again.” I said, ‘Ah, Palgé Tulku has passed away. He’s not here.” “He passed away, and he’s not here, while at the same time he will appear once again. In the last autumn month you’ll meet him.”
