The child was named Nyima Oser, "Beam of Sunlight," an extraordinary being, who possessed eight marvelous signs, including three moles in the shapes of the syllables OM AH HUNG on his forehead, throat, and heart center. After being concealed at home until the age of twelve, unknown to other people, he was taken to a fair arranged by his uncle. At the fair he outshone everyone in the horse race and, when seated upon a small throne by his uncle, Nyima Oser expounded bodhichitta, inspiring deep faith in the whole gathering. Because of the twelve-year-old long hair that was wrapped around his head to hide his ushnisha and the OM in his forehead, he was given the name Lord Nyang Ral, the "Braided Master of Nyang." Until the age of twenty-five, he studied the prevalent tantric systems of Nyingma and Shijey with many great masters. Following directions given to him by Padmasambhava in person, Nyima Oser went to the cave named Imprint of the Rak-shasa's Claw and to Pearl Crystal Cave of Pama Ridge, where he received empowerment and blessings from both Padmasambhava and Yeshe Tsogyal. During the following years, Nyima Oser revealed an incredible number of terma treasures. Without propagating a single of these teachings, he kept them secret and remained in retreat at Samye Chimphu for six years. During the retreat, Padmasambhava appeared for seven days and bestowed upon Nyima Oser whichever profound instruction he requested. Finally, Padmasambhava dissolved into Nyima Ŏser's heart, producing an experience of bliss, clarity, and nonthought, which lasted for six months. On another occasion, Yeshe Tsogyal commanded him to go to Lhodrak and establish a temple there for the benefit of beings. Later Nyang Ral Nyima Oser went to Lhodrak, where innumerable disciples gradually gathered around him. Due to the tremendous impact of the terma treasures he revealed, Nyima Oser is considered the first of five tertŏn kings.considered the first of five tertŏn kings.)
