Damchoe Yongdu
[edit]Damchoe Yongdu also called Dhamchoe Yongdu, Arnae (Tibetan: དམ་ཆོས་ཡོངས་འདུ། ཨ་ངེས་ཚང་།, Wylie: dam chos yongs'dus, a-nges tshang;) (c. 1920 – Dec 11, 1982) was the General Secretary[nb 1] to the 16th Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje.
Yongdu served the 16th Karmapa for 46 years from the age of 17 up until his death at the age of 62.
Early life
[edit]Dhamchoe Yongdu Arnae was born in 1920 at Kharnak Spring[nb 2] in Tsurphu, Tibet, to his father Arnae Dagyal[nb 3] a.k.a. Dawa Gyalpo and mother Chukor Ama[nb 4]. He was the eldest of two sons. He lost his mother as well as his younger brother at a young age and was brought up mostly by his father.
The Arnae family is part of the Drukjé Monastery in Dabpa, Kham, close to Lithang[nb 5]. His father, Arnae Dagyal was from Dabpa. He became a monk at the Chögar-gong[nb 6] in Tsurphu. Later, he gave up his robes and became a trader and traveled mostly around central, west, and northern Tibet. Yongdu's mother was also likely from Kham and later settled in Tsurphu.
When he was around seven,[1] Dhamchoe Yongdu was ordained and entered the monastic life at Tölung Tsurphu Monastery.
