Lama Nawang Namgyal was born in the year 1969, 26th May in a petit village named Sakti bordering Tibet in the Himalayan region of Ladakh a last frontier of  India at an altitude above 4000 Mtr. and a subzero temperature of less then minus 40 during winters.  His childhood and monk-hood life if not explained would create a void in this introduction.

He remained a shepherd from the age of 7 years till 13, taking care of the herds of some 40-50 sheep and goats; deep in the mountains away from any schools or modern education and rest of the world.  The harsh weathers and inhospitable terrains were the home for his herds and the shepherd. Together they faced them. At this age a great transformation took its seed unto him. The nature became his school and the teacher, a series of heart touching incident that imbedded in him the seed of compassion. All incidents were from the school of nature…his herds and animals that were around.

Till the age of 20 he remained attached to the same monastery going through all the routines of the monastery. In between he spent one year as an in charge of
Alchi monastery. After all these, his quench for knowledge was not satiated so he proceeded in search of a teacher to Manali in the state of Himachal Paradesh. He was fortunate to find Gegen Khyentse Rinpoche there and spent four years under his guidance which was very fruitful to him. He received many teaching including the Maha Mudra and Naro Chosdruk and many more teachings of Drukpa Kargyud.

Gegen Khyentse Rinpoche is one of the true Yogi and Master of Mahamudra. Always submissive and humble in what ever he did. A true teacher of Yoga he treated his students like his sons and daughters yet remain a teacher with knowledge of the ocean and he bestowed whatever he has for his loving students all the time.

After receiving all these teaching He came back to Ladakh and joined a retreat center called and Gotsang as per HH. Sey Rinpoches advice.

In the year 1995 when he was just 26 years old he decided to go to retreat of 3 years 3 months at a very sacred place; Khaspang which was the most fortunate things to be happened to him. He got the opportunity to practice all the teachings, which he received from his Gurus.

Today he lives in Germany most of the time with his family of a loving wife who also practices Tibetan Meditation and two loving kids.

TERMS & MEANINGS:
Ngöndro (Tib., wylie: sngon 'gro, pronounced "nundro") refers to the preliminary or foundational practices common to all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism and also to Bön. The Tibetan term ngöndro literally denotes "something that goes before, something which precedes." The preliminary practices establish the foundation for the more advanced and rarefied Vajrayana sadhana which are held to engender realization and the embodiment of enlightenment.

Mahāmudrā (Sanskrit: great seal or great symbol), (Tibetan: Chagchen, Wylie: phyag chen, contraction of Chagya Chenpo, Wylie: phyag rgya chen po), is a Buddhist method of direct introduction to the nature and essence of Mind (or Buddha-nature) and the practice of stabilizing the accompanying transcendental realization. It draws upon instructions from multiple levels of Buddhism, including Sutra and Vajrayana, to provide a range of approaches to enlightenment suited to various people's needs. Mahamudra is believed to enable one to realize the mindstream's innate purity, clarity and perfection, summed up by the term 'buddha nature', the topic of the Third Turning of the Dharmachakra or the final phase of the Buddha's teaching.

Naro Chos-Drug: (Tib., na-ro-chos-drug /pron. Naro Chödrug ). Sometimes known as the Six Dharmas of Mahamudra, this is the Tibetan name for the major teachings and texts by Naropa (1016-1100), the famous Mahasiddhas. His Six Doctrines (or Yogas), belong to the spiritual heritage of Vajrayana, and are disseminated especially by the Shangpa (Kagyud) and Rimed schools.

Some of the teachings in this work are similar or identical with those of the seventh century, Bön-influenced Bardo Thödol, some are gleaned from the Kalachakra Tantra (ca. 750), and again others belong to the Inner Tantras and are thus connected to Dzogchen. The work contains theoretical and practical teachings concerning the following practices and resulting abilities:

Heat Yoga (Skt., candali; Tib., gtum-mo, "fierce, wrathful"); the generation of psychic heat
Illusory Body Yoga (Skt., mayadeha; Tib., sgyu-lus, "illusory body")
Dream Yoga (Skt., svapna; Tib., rmi-lam, "dream")
Bardo Realm Yoga (Skt., antarabhava; Tib., bar-do)
Light Yoga (Skt., prabhasvara; Tib., 'od-gsal, "luminosity")

Transformation Yoga (Skt., samkranti; Tib., pho-ba, "ejection of consciousness" or "transference of consciousness"); (Tib., 'byung-ba-ro-snyoms, "equalizing the elements"); another term for the practice called "one taste"
