'''Tsele Natsok Rangdröl'''  ([[rtse le sna tshogs rang grol]]). (b. 1608) Important master of the Kagyü and Nyingma schools. He is also known as Tsele Gotsangpa. About this master and his writings, [[Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche]] said: “People who harbor no ambition to become a great scholar, but who want to focus on truly realizing the ultimate point of Vajrayana training should study just a few of the writings of Tsele Natsok Rangdröl. In these, they will find the pith instructions that are the very heart of the Dharma.”

Lead me to your state, and grant me all powerful attainments. Please bestow upon me all virtuous actions and glorious qualities".


The following autobiographical information about Tsele Natsok Rangdrol was extracted by Kyabje [[Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche]] from the inner life story of [[Jamgon Kongtrul the First]] recounting the succession of his past incarnations:

Meaning by [[Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo]] and [[Jamgon Kongtrul]]: Here is the translated meaning of the 100 syllables: From om to ya means “Om Vajrasattva’s samaya.” From manu to satva means “care for me, oh samaya!” From tve to bhava means “satisfy me!” From suto to bhava means “Fulfill me!” From supo to bhava means “Make me fully develop!” From anu to bhava means “Be loving to me!” From sarva to yaccha means “Grant me all the siddhis!” From sarva to me means “Make me master all activities!” From chitta to tu means “Make my mind virtuous!” From hung ha to hoh is the passionate laughter of vajra wisdom; the wish to translate that is the pursuit of fools. From bhaga to ta means “of all the Blessed Thus-Gone Ones.” From vajra to munca means “Vajra, do not forsake me!” The words vajri and bhava mean “Make me vajra-like!” From maha to ah means “Great samaya being, ah!” This was according to Manjugosha [Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo].


The most learned master [[Tsele Pema Legdrub]] Natsok Rangdrol was prophesized as the body-emanation of the great translator [[Vairotsana]]. Renowned as the reincarnation of the incomparable Tendzin Dorje, he was invited to the [[Thangdruk Monastery]] established by his previous incarnation. Attending numerous learned and accomplished masters including [[Gangra Lochen]], he fully comprehended the philosophcal scriptures and oral instructions of sutra and tantra, according to the new and old schools. Being extremely disciplined, even the liquor in his feast offerings was prepared from water with molasses. Besides this his tongue never touched a drop of alcohol.
Alternately, according to Guna [Jamgön Kongtrül] the first part is the same followed by this slight difference: Make me master all activities! Make my mind virtuous! hung ha ha ha ha hoh! Oh Blessed Vajra, all tathagatas, may you not forsake me! Make me vajra-like! Great samaya being, ah! [EPK]

In the later part of his life he stayed in [[Palri Gotsang]], the cave of [[Deshek Tse]] in the south, and other places where he perfected the realization of Mahamudra and Dzogchen. Among his disciples are included [[Gampopa Sangpo Dorje]], [[Bomting Choje Miphampa]], [[Tau Pema Lodro]] and others.
