Tamdrin Phurba Kyil’khor
Tamdrin Phurba Kyil’khor (rTa mGrin phur ba dKyi ‘khor / རྟ་མགྲིན་ཕུར་བ་དཀྱལ་འཾོར་ / Hayagriva Kilaya Mandala). It was the greatest good fortune that this group of five phurbas made by gTértön Akyong Düd’dül Dorje (gTer sTon A sKyong bDud ‘dul rDo rJe / གྟེར་སྟོན་ཨ་སྐྱོང་བདུད་འདུལ་རྡོ་རྗེ་) has survived and come to Drala Jong in Wales.
These phurbas were made by Akyong Düd’dül Dorje in the early 20th century in Golok, Tibet. They are made of an alloy of copper and zinc (brass) with the addition of gold, silver, and iron. One lager central Phurba is surrounded by four identical smaller phurbas.
Akyong Düd’dül Dorje was a disciple of Khyungchen Aro Lingma (khyung chen A ro gLing ma / ཁྱུང་ཆེན་ཨ་རོ་གཉལིང་མ་ / 1886–1923) the mother of gTértön Aro Yeshé (gTer sTon A ro ye shes / གྟེར་སྟོན་ཨ་རོ་ཡེ་ཤེས་ / 1911–1951). Ngak’chang Rinpoche is the current incarnation of gTértön Aro Yeshé. He lives with his Sangyum, Khandro Déchen Tsédrüp Rolpa’i Yeshé in South Wales.
