    Thrangu Rinpoche explains:

    “The reason this prayer has such a great blessing is because its author, Bengar Jampal Zangpo, received all
    his Dharma instructions from the Sixth Gyalwa Karmapa. Then he went to a place in the north of Tibet in
    order to meditate on the instructions he had received.

    Between the Zangpo and Nagchu Rivers lies the very impressive Nangchen Thaklha Mountain Range,
    which in Dharma terms is the residence of Nangchen Thaklha, the deity bound through oath by Guru
    Rinpoche to protect and guard the Dharma teachings in that area, specifically the Karma Kagyu Teachings.
    Behind the Nangchen Thaklha mountain range is the great lake Namtso Thungmo, the largest lake in Tibet,
    which is the residence of Nangchen Thaklha’s consort. Namtso means “the lake that is vast like the sky.”

    And so, having received instructions from the Sixth Gyalwa Karmapa, Bengar Jampal Zangpo crossed the
    Nangchen Thaklha Mountain Range and arrived at the shore of Namtso. There was a little island in the
    middle of the lake, called Tsenmodo, “Fingernail-stone,” its name describing how tiny the island was,
    almost like a little hill. In the winter the lake would freeze and meditators and masters would walk over to
    the little island. In the summer the ice would melt, so they could stay there and practice for many months
    in solitude, until the lake froze again and they were able to return home the next winter. Many Lamas went
    to Tsenmodo Island to meditate.

    Bengar Jampal Zangpo did a retreat on that island for eighteen years and didn’t have any problems. Some
    say it wasn’t difficult for him because Nangchen Thaklha fed him; others say he lived on the food of
    meditation. In any case, he didn’t have any problems and stayed there in retreat for eighteen years.

    At the end of this time, on the basis of his realisations from practicing on the tiny island, he composed the
    Dorje Chang Thungma. It is said that it has great blessing, because it is a prayer resulting from eighteen
    years of sincere and deep meditation.”
