After Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo passed away, Tertön Sogyal turned to
the remaining spiritual luminary in eastern Tibet, Jamgön Kongtrul,
as his touchstone. Tertön Sogyal had already received many
teachings and empowerments from Kongtrul. As their relationship
deepened, Kongtrul acknowledged that Tertön Sogyal was
unique among his disciples, and that he placed great trust in the
tertön and relied on his divinations to extend his life. In 1895,
while Tertön Sogyal stayed with Kongtrul at Dzongshö, the two
collaborated to reveal a Vajrakilaya treasure that was destined to
become part of Tibet’s national defense—the treasure teaching
was known as The Razor of the Innermost Essence."
