Biographie

Le quatrième shamarpa est né à Kangmar du Kham, dans l'est du Tibet. Le septième karmapa Chödrak Gyatso rencontre le quatrième shamarpa à Kangmar.

Lors de leur rencontre, c'est le renouveau d'un lien très étroit, comparable aux joyeuses retrouvailles d'un père avec son fils perdu. Le karmapa intronise le jeune shamarpa sous le nom de Chökyi Drakpa Yeshé Pal Zangpo et lui rend la couronne rouge. Le karmapa suggère qu'ils propagent le dharma à partir de ce moment-là, chacun dans une partie différente du pays. Le shamarpa devait rester dans la région du Kongpo au sud du Tibet, tandis que le karmapa continuait vers l'est, en direction du Kham. Quelques années plus tard, ils se retrouvent à Kangmar. Shamarpa est arrivé chargé d'offrandes et le karmapa lui a accordé l'autorisation pour le Grand Sceau, les Six yogas de Naropa et les enseignements de nombreux autres enseignements importants de la lignée Kagyu .

Le quatrième shamarpa est reconnu comme un érudit et un excellent praticien des enseignements du Bouddha. Il a appliqué avec diligence les pratiques reçues du karmapa, de Gyalchab Rinpoché et d'autres grands lamas et érudits. Il est devenu un exemple de persévérance inébranlable qui impose le respect. Tout en propageant le dharma, shamarpa a atteint le Bhoutan, et le monastère qu'il a construit existe toujours dans la partie sud de ce pays. Malgré son ancienneté, il constitue un témoignage bien conservé. En plus d'être un bon exemple du savoir-faire de l'époque, c'est aussi un rappel de la bénédiction de Shamarpa. Au Tibet central, où le shamarpa a été en fonction pendant onze ans, il les a exercés conformément aux principes bouddhistes, mais sa principale préoccupation a toujours été le dharma. Il a étudié, enseigné et médité jusqu'à la fin de sa vie.

On the night of his birth people in the region saw two moons in the sky. When he was born he told relatives that he knew the Gyalwa Karmapa. At the age of seven years he was taken to the Kangmar monastery and there he went straight up to his throne and sat upon it. His previous disciples mixed up all the books and placed them before him, but he selected all the writings of the Karmapas and then put all the pages in the right order. Shamarpa was invited to Chang Mo Sar and to the great Surmang monastery, where he met Chos Trag Gyamtso, the seventh Karmapa. The Black Hat ceremony was performed for his benefit and he received many teachings and initiations at this time. At the age of twelve he performed the Red Hat ceremony and was formally enthroned. He had a vision of the Goddess Saraswati, who offered him an Arura (Myrobalan) fruit. As a result of this he was able to learn very quickly. He went to Gaden Mamo where he meditated for six months. In the male iron tiger year (1470) at the age of seventeen Sharnar Tulku made a brief visit to Mongolia and upon his return to Tibet he received all the final teachings from Karrnapa. Go Lotsawa Zhonu Pal, a disciple of his previous incarnation, taught him Sanskrit and the classical treatises. At the age of forty-six he became Supreme Ruler of Tibet. He founded the large Gaden Marna monastery, with an assembly-hall of ninety-four pillars. The work was started on the second day of the third month of the male earth monkey year ( 1488) and was completed on the tenth day of the sixth month of the male iron dog year (1490). At the age of fifty-one he founded a large monastery at Yang Chen, a short distance North of Tsurphu, with seventy-two pillars in the main assembly-hall. This work was started on the nineteenth day of the fourth month of the female water pig year (1503) and was completed in the second month of the rat year (1504). In the monkey year (1524), on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month, Sharnar Tulku passed away, amidst many highly auspicious omens. He was seventy-two. His foremost disciples were Taklung Narngyal Trakpa, Zhalu Lotsawa and Drigung Ratna. »
