One of his disciples, the Mongolian Buddhist monk Jaya Pandita Lozang Trinle (Jaya Pandita blo bzang 'phrin las, 1642-1708) is said to have mentioned in his Collected Works several of the prophesies of Drakpa Gyeltsen, and his rnam thar was preserved in Mongolian Jaya Pandita's works. The latter was an important master at the time when much of the profound knowledge of Buddhism and the Gelug in particular was being imported into Mongolia.
Lobsang Tamdin’s be bum extracted the biographies (rnam thar) of Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen and his reincarnation lineage into a work called sprul sku grags pa rgyal mtshan gyi sngon byung ‘khrungs rabs dang bcas pa'i rnam thar (dza ya pandi ta blo bzang 'phrin las kyi gsan yig nas zur du bkod pa bzhugs so). The originals can also be found directly in the catalog of received teachings (thob yig) of Jaya Pandita published by Lokesh Chandra, International Academy of Indian Culture (1981, vol. 4, folios 43-60). This contains the list of the long incarnation lineage of Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen, with brief biographies. The biography of Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen himself contains a year by year account of his life.
In his introduction to the be bum, Lobsang Tamdin writes that Dorje Shugden is a magical emanation of Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen’s three enlightened secrets (gsang gsum).
A relevant entry is found in Sumpa Khenpo’s Chronology of Tibet for the Wood Sheep year (1655–1656), preceded by a symbol that denotes an entry for a person’s birth:6 “The Kangxi Emperor becomes famous as the reincarnation of Tulku Dragpa Gyaltsen.”

Famous quotes containing the words selected, information and/or sources:
“There is no reason why parents who work hard at a job to support a family, who nurture children during the hours at home, and who have searched for and selected the best [daycare] arrangement possible for their children need to feel anxious and guilty. It almost seems as if our culture wants parents to experience these negative feelings.”
—Gwen Morgan (20th century)
“Theories of child development and guidelines for parents are not cast in stone. They are constantly changing and adapting to new information and new pressures. There is no “right” way, just as there are no magic incantations that will always painlessly resolve a child’s problems.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“The American grips himself, at the very sources of his consciousness, in a grip of care: and then, to so much of the rest of life, is indifferent. Whereas, the European hasn’t got so much care in him, so he cares much more for life and living.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
