Chatral Urgyen Rinpoche (b. 1913,) of P'harping, Nepal. Almost 100
years old, he is a yogi who has seen and understood many things, and it is
widely known that he spoke openly to his own (Nyingmapa) communities saying that

Signs and Portents
Pratibha Chauhan, in India's The
Tribune reported:
"On the day of his birth on June 26, 1985, the villagers reported
hearing the sound of conch shells for an hour, followed by another musical
sound, the source of which could not be found. Perhaps, the most dramatic
of the many signs were the three suns, which shone in the sky. Seen by all
present, they were of the same size and appeared in a row. Over the middle
sun, arched a rainbow each end of which dissolved suns on the sides.
This strange phenomenon was reported throughout eastern Tibet, as if clearly
signified the arrival of a reincarnate. After seeking the blessing and
help of many Lamas, Karma Dhondup and his wife Loga were blessed with this boy.
As promised by the parents, the boy was taken to the Kalek monastery, and
installed as a tulku, though he was not given a name. Khatza Tapa, a local
wise man proficient in mirror medicine, made a prediction when he saw a conch
shell spiralling clockwise: "The boy will greatly benefit beings. When he
is eight years old everything will be clear, but until then no one can confirm
who he is".
