Tertön Sogyal was born in the year of the Fire Dragon of the fourteenth calendrical cycle (1856) in Upper Nyarong in [[Kham]]. His father was Dargye from the Shyipa family and his mother was Orgyen Drolma. He quickly learned to read and write, and sought teachings from [[Nyala Pema Duddul]] and from [[Patrul Rinpoche]] and [[Khenpo Pema Vajra]] at [[Dzogchen Monastery]]. These masters recognized the child as an incarnation and requested that he be sent to a monastery, but his father would not allow his only son to leave home and insisted that he take up worldly pursuits and hunting instead. After the boy had had several visions and fallen ill, his father finally relented.[http://www.lotsawahouse.org/tertonsogyalbio.html] |

He went to a remote hermitage where he discovered his first [[terma]], a mind treasure of the lion-faced dakini Simhamukha. From the age of 13 to 18, he stayed in retreat. After the retreat, he travelled to Kathok with Lama Sonam Thayé and others and received empowerments from Tenpé Gyaltsen and other transmissions from Kathok Getsé Tulku. He met [[Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo]] who declared him to be an authentic [[tertön]] and gave him empowerments. He then received further instructions from [[Patrul Rinpoche]]’s disciple, [[Nyoshul Lungtok Tenpé Nyima]] and from [[Mipham Rinpoche]]. |
|||
In 1888, he went to Lhasa and met the [[Thirteenth Dalai Lama]] for the first time.[http://www.lotsawahouse.org/tertonsogyalbio.html]. He returned to Lhasa several times in the following years, in 1891, 1896 and 1898-9 and 1901, each time offering instructions and sacred [[terma]] objects to the Thirteenth Dalai Lama. |
