This was no small acquiescence, since this empowerment is extremely profound and rare. Previously, the Desum had been passed down to only one or two people at any given transmission. The seal of secrecy had only been opened in Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche’s generation.1 The first time Chokgyur Lingpa bestowed the empowerment was to Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Tse- wang Draka, the tertons six-month-old son and reincarna tion of Yudra Nyingpo, who in his past life was the foremost disciple of the great translator Vairotsana.
