| Biography/History note | Situ Chokyi Jungne (1700-1774) the Eighth Tai Situpa, Chokyi Jungne, was born in the province of A-Lu Shekar at Ataru. At the age of eight years he was recognized according to predictions left by Karmapa Mikyo Dorje. He received all the teachings and empowerments and studied philosophy and medicine from Karmapa Jangchub Dorje, Shamar Rinpoche, and Rigzin Tsewang Norbu. In 1727, he founded the great Palpung monastery near Derge in Eastern Tibet. He also built and restored countless other monasteries throughout his life. He translated many texts from Sanskrit, including prayers to Tara. He also visited China at the invitation of the Emperor Chi'en Lung (1735-1796) and was highly honoured. He was acknowledged as a supreme scholar who had no equal in the five knowledges and an unsurpassed artist responsible for the creation of a whole new tradition of painting. It is said that his limitless activities were equal to those of Nagajuna's in India and that if all of the other Kagyu monasteries came together, their activity wouldn't be equal to that of Situ Chokyi Jungne. While meditating in the lotus posture of a Buddha he passed away and it was observed that his heart-region retained heat for seven days and there was a strong smell of incense everywhere. His foremost disciples were the thirteenth Karmapa, the tenth Shamar Tulku, Drukchen Trinley Shingta, Drigung Chokyi Gyalwa, Pawo Tsuklak Gyalwa, Drubtop Choje Gyal, Khamtrul Chokyi Nyima, and Lotsawa Tsewang Kunchab. |
