The most learned master [[Tsele Padma 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.
 
 
 
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. <br>
 
Among his disciples are included [[Gampopa Sangpo Dorje]], [[Bomting Choje Miphampa]], [[Tau Pema Lodro]] and others. <br>([[Erik Pema Kunsang]])
 
 
 
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.”
