Who Taught Dilgo Khyentse Tsalung Trulkhor?
According to the famous autobiography of Dilgo Khyentse known as Brilliant Moon it was Drubwang Künga Palden aka Kyedrub Kunga Palden (grub dbang kun dga' dpal ldan, 1878-1950) who instructed him in Tsalung Trulkhor, the yogic practices of illusory and magical movements related to one's subtle channels, vital energies, and vital essences (rtsa rlung thig le) according to the Dzogchen Longchen Nyingthig tradition. In this respect Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche states:
When I reached my eleventh year my legs were burned, and I came close to death. At that time the holy guru Künga Palden performed the ablution ritual, conferred the layman’s vows, and carried out a longevity practice for a month.
In particular, he granted an elaborate and detailed explanation of the whole of The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel of the Guru’s Inner Essence, beginning with The Stages of Guru Practice: The Ocean of Attainments right up to the final inventory. I also received practical guidance from him on the channels, winds, and physical yoga practices of The Heart Essence of the Great Expanse. He told me that I should "focus on practice as my main activity and, as a supplement to this, grant instructions to those who seek the teachings.”
He also gave me his own copies of the Seven Treasuries, which he had studied for his entire life, and his personal copies of the Trilogy of Natural Ease and cared for me with immeasurable compassion.
