SIngye Dorji from Gangtey in Wangdiphodrang district shares an account of Pema Lingpa. He was a Buddhist saint who lived in Bhutan. He was inseperable from Guru Padmasambhava (Rinpoche) throughout his rebirths and represented Guru's enlightened activity. In the Nyingma tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism, Pema Lingpa is the most important figure next to/after Guru Rinpoche. He is often referred to as “Ugyen Padma Gyaltshab” meaning the representative of Guru Rinpoche. In the past, Terton King Pema Lingpa manifested in the form of great masters and Khandros. Pema Lingpa was a reincarnation of princess Lhacham Pemasel (daughter of King Trisong Deutsen) to be born in Bumthang after a certain number of rebirths. He is a well-respected, prominent figure in the history of the Nyingma tradition and recognized as one of the five Terton Kings, who are among the one hundred major and one thousand minor treasure revealers.
