The Jamgon Kongtruls 
A Brief Biography by Ven. Bokhar Rinpoche

 
H.E. the 3rd Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche

Namo Guru Mati Dharma Singha ye.
The true nature of the vajra realm is unchanging and permanent,
Yet in order to train disciples,
You display inconceivable, miraculous illusions,
Such as the appearance of birth and death; I bow to you.
Your wondrous nirmanakaya, complete with all the marks of the Buddha,
Rests in meditation like a sun in the space of luminosity.
At this time I have composed the mere seed of a biography
To inspire the faith of myself and others.
