Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche’s teaching on Drenpa Namkha, Wels, Austria, 1995

The First Drenpa Namkha, of Tagzig There are three Drenpa Namkhas.[1] They all have the same name. The first is very early. He was miraculously self-born on a lotus.[2] It says that he was born in a place called Tagzig.[3] In ancient times, that was a very big country. Maybe it included Afghanistan, too. In our text, it says Tajik and then Kashmir. Kashmir is translated into Tibetan as Kache.[4] These countries are quite closely joined. So this first Drenpa Namkha was there.
