Дзогчен в гелуг

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso occupies an important place in the transmission of the Nyingma teachings, and is included by Dudjom Rinpoche in his famous ‘History of theNyingmapas’ among the biographies of the tertöns. This is particularly on account of hisrevelation of the ‘pure visions’ of the
Gyachen Nyer Nga
—’Twenty-five Sealed Teachings’. The fifth Dalai Lama was prophesied in certain termas as an emanation of the enlightened activity of King Trisong Detsen. He felt a deep connection with the Nyingma tradition of Guru Padmasambhava, and had a number of important Nyingma teachers, such as Zurchen Chöying Rangdrol, Khöntön Paljor Lhundrup, and Terdak Lingpa, Minling Terchen Gyurmé Dorje. He was particularly close to the masters of the‘Northern Treasure’ lineage of Rigdzin Gödem, who appear frequently in his visions. In his autobiography he also speaks of Pema Rigdzin, the first Dzogchen Rinpoche, whom he urged to found the Dzogchen monastery in Kham; he calls him "the great Dzogchenpa who has totally understood the Nyingtik". Dudjom Rinpoche writes: Of particular interest is the manner in which the Dalai Lama received the teachings contained in the ‘Profound Pure Visions’, which was foretold in a prophecy in thetermas of the glorious Tashi Topgyal: You who are now king of the black-headed race, Through pure aspirations, your fifth incarnation will reveal ‘Twenty-five’—with five special mind treasures.
