    Zemey's Yellow Book: Twenty-three sectarian cult murders

    Zemey Rinpoche, a stalwart practitioner of Dolgyal, compiled and published a book entitled the 'Oral Transmission of the Competent Father (pha-rgod bla-ma'i zhal-lung). In it he stated that Dolgyal would destroy any Gelugpa practitioner, be he an ordinary person, a highly-realized lama or even a ruler, if he supplemented his Gelugpa practice with the practice of other spiritual traditions. Zeme Rinpoche named the following 23 government officials and Buddhist masters who, he said, were put to death by Dolgyal for practicing the Nyingma tradition:
    1) Dordrak Rigzin Pema Trinley,
    2) Wolkha Jedrung Lobsang Trinley (also known as Lhelung Sheypai Dorjee),
    3) Wolkha Jedrung's reincarnation, who studied at Loseling College of Drepung Monastery and became the abbot of Gyutoed Tantric College,
    4) Wolkha Jedrung's second reincarnation, who died while a student at Loseling College,
    5) Wolkha Jedrung's third reincarnation, who was born in Tsel Gungthang and died as he was about to be enthroned, 6) Panchen Lobsang Palden Choekyi Dakpa Tenpai Wangchuk, the eighth Panchen Lama, 7) his reincarnation, Panchen Lobsang Thubten Choekyi Nyima Gelek Namgyal,
    8) Chamdo Phagbala Lobsang Thubten Mipham Tsultrim Gyaltsen,
    9) Thubten Jampel Yeshi Gyaltsen, the Fifth Reting Rinpoche,
    10) Kachen Ang Nyima, the tutor of the Nineth Panchen Lama,
    11) Khardho Tulku Kelsang Thubten Nyendrak, 12) Nyungney Lama Lobsang Yeshi Gyaltsen,
    13) Lobsang Palden Choekyi Wangchuk, the former body of Tehor Sig-gyab Tulku,
    14) the former body of Sera Je's Tzenya Tulku, 15) Thubten Kelsang Tenzin, the Sixth Nagchu Drubkhang Tulku, 16) Lobsang Trinley Rabgye, the Dhemo Rinpoche of Tengyeling,
    17) Tatsak Jedrung Lobsang Thubten Jigme Gyaltsen Kundeling,
    18) Pema Wangchen Surkhang, the Kashag secretary, who died at the age of 22,
    19) Shabe Sonam Wangchen, the father of Pema Wangchen Surkhang, who died at the age of 37,
    20) Gung Jigme Namgyal Lhalu,
    21) his son Phuntsok Rabgye, 22) Tsipon Lungshar, and
    23) Kalon Trimon Norbu Wangyal.

    Zemey's book also stated that in 1954, Dolgyal used his occult power to bring the biggest flood in Gyangtse, which destroyed many villages and killed thousands of people and animals. After meeting an ignominious demise in Darjeeling the very day he was to bless five of the sectarian demon's idols, Zemey's supposed reincarnation has been installed by the Communist Party of China.
