In a dream while in retreat, [[Jetsun Milarepa]] received a prophecy/command from a dakini, telling him to request certain instructions from his teacher. He broke retreat to relate this to his teacher [[Marpa]]. Thereupon Marpa, having realised that he himself had not yet received these teachings, traveled to India for a third time to request these instructions from his teacher, the great [[Naropa]]. Having found Naropa after great difficulties and after arriving together at his seat in Pullahari, Naropa asked him whether he had remembered to request these instructions himself or if he had received an indication from a dakini. Marpa said that neither was the case, but that he had a student who had received such an indication while practicing in retreat. Thereupon Naropa folded his hands at the heart, spoke these words and bowed three times towards Tibet. As he did so, the mountains and trees did likewise. It is said, that even nowadays the mountains and trees of Pullahari lean towards Tibet. <br>
Chatral Rinpoche, now 94 years old, is one of the most revered spiritual figures in South Asia and is believed by many to be a Buddha in person. Father Thomas Merton famously remarked in 1968 that he was "the greatest man I ever met."  He is the Vajra Regent of Dudjom Rinpoche's lineage and the Senior Master of the Longchen Nyingthig lineage of the Great Perfection. Like his root teacher Dudjom Rinpoche, Chatral Rinpoche's teachings are luminious and brilliant, with the potential to liberate fortunate beings on the spot.
