Below is an except of a dream I had two years ago on 01-03-2024 .

Today it is again Dewi Sant.

———

I turn to the wife and say that she has just told the Dalai Lama that he talks too much. He hears me and we lock eyes. He is grinning profusely and we both find the situation hysterically funny. He turns to his retinue and says, “The Dalai Lama talks too much!” They all giggle slightly because he is known for not saying that much at all.

In the dream I know that this is a previous incarnation of the current Dalai Lama. Because he looks different. I recognise him.

{On searching Google, it is the 13^th Dalai Lama as an older man.}

The sense of fun at being told off we share is uplifting.

The scene changes and I am now deeper in the hall with the wife. I am making an herbal tea with citrus rind, bright yellow berries and ginger in a large Pyrex bowl. I pour this through a sieve into two cups. We go outside to let it cool.

I say that we have to go back in because the meeting is starting. We find that someone has tidied up our mugs. We sit down on a couple of chairs and the meeting kicks off in English. The expats are mobilising for some cause or other. They tell us we have every right to be there.

The scene changes and I am in a mountain {possibly Tibet} monastery. I am with a young boy aged around ten. We are in a bedroom and he is standing on the bed. He is of Tibetan origin with jet black hair. We are touching foreheads and playing a gentle game of headbutts with each other. His English is impeccable and I tell him so. He seems very familiar to me. We are having a great deal of fun.

Someone comes to the door and escorts us to a room with large step like seats. The boy instructs me to go some way up the steps and I am joined by the wife.

Some men come in and put a carved wooden chair on the floor. The boy says that the Dalai Lama likes to have people higher than he because it reminds him to stay humble. The Dalai Lama comes in and sits on the chair. The boy stands next to him. It is clear that they know each other well. In the dream I know that this is yet another prior incarnation of the Dalai Lama.

The 9^th , 10^th , 11^th and 12^th Dalai Lamas all had rather short lives not making it past their early twenties.

The 13^th is recorded as living 12-2-1876 to 17-12-1933. In the dream above I recognise him as an older man. Which puts a loose time frame as say 1918 – 1933 when we might have interacted.

If this dream is referring to a past life memory of mine then it follows that I was alive and incarnate then. Which means that a good estimate for birth year is at the latest 1913 meaning I would be twenty when he died. We have no limit to the lower end. At a push it could go as far back as ~ 1866 meaning I was ten years older

The 12^th Dalai Lama lived (28 December 1856 – 25 April 1875).

So for  me to recognise him as a young boy that places me alive at ~ 1866. And maybe having been born ~ 1846 if I recognise him when I was adult. In the dream we are having fun so let’s assume I was also a boy of say ten when he was ten which means a birth around 1856.

This means that at the death of the 13^th I would have been 77. I could have died before him.

Using these “parameters”  in which I recognise two prior incarnations of the Dalai Lama I would have been hanging out in and around Tibet 1856 – 1933 with “error bars” of say plus or minus five years.

I would have been a contemporary of “Thubten Choekyi Nyima (1883–1937), often referred to as Choekyi Nyima, who was the ninth Panchen Lama of Tibet.”

If we assume that I did not incarnate in the interim, then I might be a reincarnation of some person from the early part of last century who was acquainted with both the 12^th and 13^th Dalai Lamas.

If I reincarnated in the meantime then we might be looking for another candidate.

Ruling out multiple emanation / nirmanakaya forms that person should have popped clogs by ~ 1963

From below:  Third Purchok, Jampa Gyatso (1825-1901), served as tutor to both the 12^th and 13^th.

He knew them both.

The name of the fourth Purchok is noted as not known and given a birth date of 1902. No “life” has a yet been noted at “The Treasury of Lives.”

 There is no internet record of the fifth Purchok.

It is a bit of a mystery as to what may / may not have happened…

A little bit of “Find My Past Dot Com” alternative ancestry research…

From “The Treasury of Lives”

The Twelfth Dalai Lama, Trinle Gyatso was born into the family of Bakdrok Nyang-tsangpa (‘bag ‘brog nyang tshang pa) at a small town near Olkha Dzingchi in 1856, on the first day of the twelfth month of fire-dragon year of the fourteenth sexagenary cycle. His father was called Puntsok Tsewang and his mother was named Tsering Yudron. He had an elder brother named Yeshe Norbu .

——————————

In 1864, at the age of nine, Trinle Gyatso was granted the vows of primary monk at the Jokhang by his tutor, Lobzang Khyenrab Wangchuk. That same year, following the death of Shedra Wangchuk Gyelpo, Lobzang Khyenrab Wangchuk was appointed regent. During his tenure as regent he foiled a plot of the Dalai Lama’s personal assistant, Pelden Dondrub ( d. 1871) to overthrow both the regent and the Dalai Lama.

Beginning in 1868 Trinle Gyatso began to attend the annual Lhasa Monlam, possibly the first Dalai Lama to do so regularly. In 1870 Trinle Gyatso visited Drepung and Sera monasteries and stood for examinations. He was examined again four years later at Ganden.

At the age of eighteen in 1873, on the tenth day of the second month of the year of water-bird, Trinle Gyatso took the formal charge of the Lhasa government. He was assisted in his duties by the Third Purchok, Jampa Gyatso (1825-1901), who would later serve as tutor to the Thirteenth Dalai Lama, Tubten Gyatso (1876-1933). He travelled on a pilgrimage tour to Chokhor Gyel (chos ‘khor rgyal) and other places in the Southern Tibet during which he gave public audience and teachings at many places.

Purbuchok Hermitage  is a hermitage situated in the northeastern corner of the Lhasa Valley in the northern suburb of Dodé in the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China. Destroyed by the Chinese in 1959, it was mostly restored in 1984. Affiliated to the Sera Monastery, it is the last hermitage to be visited on the “Sixth-Month Fourth-Day” pilgrimage circuit. The hills surrounding the monastery have been given name tags of the three protectors of the divine paradise namely the Avalokiteśvara, Manjusri and Vajrapani. It is also identified with the six-syllables divine mantra – OM Mani Padme Hum.

The Third Purchok Jampa Gyatso was born in the pasture land of Dzachu Aurtok in Kham (in 1825, the wood-bird year of fourteenth sexagenary cycle. His father was called Jamcho and his mother was named Tsering Dolkar.

At the age of five, having been identified as the reincarnation of the Second Purchok, Lobzang Jampa ( 1763-1825), Jampa Gyatso was escorted to U and installed in the Purchok Hermitage above Sera Monastery outside of Lhasa. He began his basic education in reading and writing, and memorization of daily prayer-texts under a man named Ne Lama, the master of the hermitage at that time.

At the age of ten, Jampa Gyatso matriculated in the Sera Je College for his further studies. The Tenth Dalai Lama, Tsultrim Gyatso (1816-1837) cut his crown-hair and gave him the name Jampa Tsultrim Gyatso in 1834. Subsequently the Seventh Paṇchen Lama Lobzang Tenpai Nyima Chole Namgyel (1781-1854) granted him the vows of novice monk.

From the web site of The Central Tibetan Administration

“His Holiness explained that the empowerment he was about to give related to Avalokiteshvara in the context of Highest Yoga Tantra. The lineage derives from Vajradhara, Tilopa, Maitripa and Jangsem Lodro Rinchen. His Holiness said he received it from Trijang Rinpoche, who received it from Tadrag Rinpoche, who was given it by Purchok Jhampa Tsultim Gyatso, tutor to the 12th and 13th Dalai Lamas. The author of this rite wrote that Tibet is a land in the care of Avalokiteshvara, so a Highest Yoga Tantra practice of Avalokiteshvara would be complete.”
