==A Brief Biography of Pema Nyinche Wangpo==
 
The [[ninth Tai Situpa]], Pema Nyinche Wangpo, was born in [[Yilung]], near [[Derge]] in Kham, Eastern Tibet in the year of the wood-horse. He was recognized by the [[Karmapa]] and [[Pawo Rinpoche]], who had received a prediction from [[Guru Rinpoche]] in a vision. At the age of five years he was formally enthroned and received all of the teachings of the lineage from [[Karmapa Dudul Dorje]], [[Shamar Chodrup Tenzin]], and [[Dzigar Dorje Trakpa]] amongst other accomplished masters.
 
 
He renovated [[Palpung monastery]] and made countless precious offerings to many monasteries of all traditions. He became the root-lama to the first [[Jamgon Kongtrul]] Rinpoche, [[Khyentse Wangpo]] Rinpoche, and [[Chokling]] Rinpoche, amongst others. He started the Rime (non-sectarian) movement in Tibet, that was firmly established by his disciples.
 
 
 
His life of freedom demonstrated genuine great accomplishment, and he exerted a great spiritual influence on the precious doctrine of the practice lineage. He spent most of his life in deep meditation and was a renowned scholar and teacher and performed many miracles such as leaving footprints in rock.
 
 
 
At the age of 61 years he entered the retreat centre at [[Palpung]], [[Drubgyu Samtenling]], and practised the teachings for eighteen years. At the age of 79 he passed away. At that time the sky was filled with rainbows and there were many other highly auspicious signs.
