Pulung Rinchen Ling
Pulung Rinchen Ling (Wyl. pho lung rin chen lding) is a Kagyü monastery in Powo, Tibet, which was founded by Gar Dampa Zhonnu Dorje (who appears in the Garchen Tulku Incarnation Line) in 1260. His disciple Pa Rinpoche served as its first abbot. It is considered a branch of Tsurphu Monastery in Central Tibet.[1]
Pulung Sangye, aka Garwang Sangye Dorje was one of the main residents of Pulung Rinchen Ling during the 20th cent. Tulku Dawa Rinpoche did a three-year retreat in Pulung Rinchen Ling, under the guidance of Garwang Sangye Dorje.
When Dudjom Rinpoche was thirty years old [1933-34], he resided at the hermitage of Ösel Tekchok Ling at Pulung Rinchen Ling. While there, he compiled two sadhanas ate the request of Garwang Sangye Dorje. There were based on the 'Quintessence of All Dharma Realizations' that had been revealed by Rigdzin Düddul Dorje. The two sadhanas are called 'Heart Essence of the Vidyadharas' and 'Heart Drop and Secret Practice of the Lama'. He supplemented these sadhanas with various practice instructions manuals.[2].
