The Death Of Trulku Dakpa Gyaltsen In The Year 1656

But we research the recorded history, trulku Dakpa gyaltsen died in the year 1656. In the following years, negative omens appeared and which began to increase alarmingly according to the book, “Heavenly Garment”. Initially, 5th Dalai lama did some small-scale tantric rituals several times. In the year 1675 when he led an extensive wrathful Fire ritual to subdue the violent spirit of Trulku Dhakpa Gyaltsen. The great 5th Dalai Lama was accompanied by seven different tantric adepts like termagant lingpa and Rigzing chenmo Dorjee Drak, etc. As a result of it, everybody felt the real smell of burning flesh which convinced them the success of the performance.
