In his biography, Dudjom Lingpa recounts when he met him: “In the year I turned thirty-nine, at night on the ninth day of the middle summer month, a dakini appeared saying, “Here is something you need.” She gave me an extremely beautiful and fascinating iron ritual dagger wrapped in black silk; attached to the silk was an unsightly stone ritual dagger. “My child, I’m giving this to you. As a sign that this has come through the hands of a foolish lama, it has a black silk wrapping. The stone dagger connected to it will be of scant help to anyone else: It will likely accomplish its own purpose.” Early the next morning on the tenth day, Dorjé Zangpo, Excellent Vajra, from Chutsang and a sculptor name Dorje, Vajra, arrived together. We offered a vajra feast celebration. [...] The diking said: 'As for Dorje, his companion, he won’t be of service to others, but he will accomplish his own purpose [by attaining realization]. They must both stay in mountain hermitages, wandering to unfixed locales. This is of utmost importance!” Then she vanished without a trace.(Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, page 134-135.)

Accordingly, when I began that task on the tenth day of the middle winter month, thunder roared from the heavens and small hailstones fell erratically. I considered that to be indicative of a favorable coincidence, the thought of which made me quite delighted and happy, so I told the lama about it. He said, “During the winter, isn’t the sound of thunder something disastrous?” He made this and other pessimistic comments; I saw that there wasn’t going to be much of a good connection. I ceased writing after five pages and se it aside without transcribing anything more.” Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, p.134).

When I transcribed a text for him, a rainbow stretched out like five silk ribbons sone above my house, a portent of his impeding liberation in the illusory rainbow body. At the end of his life in Lhasa, when he passed away, exceptional canopies of rainbow light and other signs and indications appeared. Everyone in Central and Western Tibet was amazed. During the middle winter month [of 1872] I practiced Dakini Tröma Nakmo during a month-long retreat. On that occasion I was accompanied by my supreme disciples Tsé-chu, Pema Tashi, and Orgyen. There was no one else apart from this trio. I cam to the firm conclusion that they upheld their tantric commitments. At that time, a rain of small feathers from vultures, the king of birds, fell; the house was infused with a sweet aromas; and others fantastic signs and omens appeared.' (Dudjom Lingpa, ‘A Clear Mirror’, The Visionary Autobiography of a Tibetan Master’, The Outer Autobiography, translated by Chönyi Drolma, Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 2011, p.133).
