Maki 2 June, 1998 Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, Padmakara, or Tsokey Dorje, was the guru predicted by the Buddha Shakyamuni to bring the Buddhist Dharma to Tibet. In the land of Uddiyana, King Indrabhuti had undergone many trials, including the loss of his young son and a widespread famine in his kingdom. The Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara felt compassion for the king, and entreated the Buddha Amitabha, pictured directly above Padmasambhava, to help him. From his tongue, Amitabha emanated a light ray into the lake of Kosha, and a lotus grew, upon which sat an eight year old boy. The boy was taken into the kingdom of Uddiyana as the son of King Indrabhuti and named Padmasambhava, or Lotus Born One. Padmasambhava grew up to make realizations about the unsatisfactory nature of existence, which led to his renunciation of both kingdom and family in order to teach the Dharma to those entangled in samsara. Over the years, as he taught, other names were bestowed upon him in speciﬁc circumstances to represent his realization of a particular aspect of Buddhism. This thangka depicts Padmasambhava, in a form also called Tsokey Dorje, as a great guru and Buddha in the land of Tibet.

Padmasambhava's Eight Forms Essay
Mirrors of the Heart-Mind - Padmasambhava's Eight Forms Essay http://huntingtonarchive.osu.edu/Exhibitions/sama/Essays/AM9... Back to Exhibition Index The Teacher, Padmasambhava ("Lotus-Born") and His Eight Forms (Image) Unfinished Thangka, painting Cotton support with opaque mineral pigments in waterbased (collagen) binder Central Tibet Ca. 19th century Menri Serma "New School of Men style" Museum #: 97.271 By Ariana P. Maki 2 June, 1998 The eight primary manifestations of Padmasambhava are here joined by Nyingma monks and protective deities. Padmasambhava is seated in the center atop a lotus bloom with his common attributes, on his left shoulder the khatvanga, in the left hand the kapala, and holds the vajra in his right hand. His primary consorts, Mandarava and Yeshe Tsogyal, are flanking him. Directly above Padmasambhava's head is the Bodhisattva, Avalokiteshvara and atop him, the red Buddha Amitabha. The Buddha Amitabha is the direct progenitor of both Avalokiteshvara and Padmasambhava, but the extent of their relationship will not be explored here. To the right of the Buddha Amitabha is Nargajuna, a saint of the Nyingma sect. He is identifiable by the snakes enveloping his prana. The group of three monks next to Nargajuna and a set of four on the far left of the print all belong to the Nyingma sect, founded by Padmasambhava and identifiable by their red caps. Two of Padmasambhava's primary forms are illustrated above his consorts. Above Mandarava on the right is Padma Gyalpo, also holding a damaru in his right hand, and a mirror in his left. On the left, illustrated above Yeshe Tsogyal is Loden Chogsed, or Supreme Genius.

7 Tibetan Buddhism
Chapter 7 The ‘Crown’ of Buddhism: Tibet Tibet Before Buddhism Buddhism was slow in reaching Tibet, mainly for geographical reasons, the principal problem being the virtual irnpassibility of the Himalayas, together with a climate to which Indian teachers were quite unaccustomed. Tibet is often described as the Land of Snows’; it is highly mountainous, being between 13000 and 16400 feet above sea level, and in the same season of the year, temperatures can vary between minus 40 degrees Celsius –40°C) at night and 27 degrees Celsius (+ 27°C) during the day. When Buddhist teachers finally penetrated Tibetan territory, they discovered that the Tibetans already had their own religions, and it took several centuries for Buddhism to percolate through and to adapt itself. In order to establish itself thoroughly, Buddhism had to undergo a vast transformation and absorb much of the culture and religion that already existed in the country. Before the advent of Buddhism, the religion practised in Tibet was a form of ‘shamanism’. A shaman is an officially appointed priest who is believed to have special powers to communicate with the spirit worlds. By these powers he is able to provide access for mortals to the upper realms of the heavens or the lower realms of the hells. These boundaries could only be linked by the shaman priest who performed special rites, especially at funerals, to close the doors of the tombs by his special powers, and to open up the gates of the celestial abodes. The shaman was not merely a religious figure. In Tibet he also held political power, and together with the king and the chief minister formed a trio with power to govern the region.

A Collection of Buddhist Methods for Healing
!1 A Collection of Buddhist Methods for Healing Jason Espada, Editor !2 So, now are we ready to practice the holy Dharma? It is exactly during times like these that we can lean into our intention to attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings. You see, in this great crisis, from the suffering of the animals where the virus most likely originated, to the suffering of all those with the disease and the fear and suffering of the whole world being touched by it, there is not one being who wants to suffer. This is the Buddha's point exactly. - Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo As long as diseases afflict living beings May I be the doctor, the medicine And also the nurse Who restores them to health. May I fall as rain to increase The harvests that must feed the living beings And in ages of dire famine May I myself serve as food and drink. May I be an unending treasury For those desperate and forlorn. May I manifest as what they require And wish to have near them… - Shantideva !3 A Collection of Buddhist Methods for Healing Introduction 3/23/2020 Since so many people these days are asking what they can do to strengthen their health, and to help others, I thought to offer this collection of Buddhist methods for healing. We have time now, and the strong motivation to practice, so if we connect with a Tradition, the result can only be to the good. In Tibetan Buddhism, a sadhana is a method of accomplishment that uses prayer, mantra, and visualization, based on Buddhist philosophy.

Mandarava Reader's Guide ~
~ Mandarava Reader's Guide ~ This series of blog posts are meant to be resource guides to complement the biographies of the great masters and scholars on the Treasury of Lives site. Mandarava Mandarava was one of the great 8th century adepts and was one of the main consorts of Guru Rinpoche. As such a central figure at the time of Guru Rinpoche, she is a focus of many works. A wonderful complete biography was published by our friends at Wisdom Publications as The Lives and Liberation of Princess Mandarava. A short account of her life by Sarah Jacoby is on the Treasury of Lives site. In Crazy Wisdom which is included in The Collected Works of Chögyam Trungpa, Volume 5, Trungpa Rinpoche describes the scene when Mandarava met Guru Rinpoche: "One day he visited a nunnery. At this particular nunnery lived a princess called Mandarava, who had just recently become a nun and had completely turned away from worldly pleasure. She lived in seclusion, guarded by five hundred women, whose task was to make sure that she maintained her monastic discipline. When Padmasambhava arrived at the monastery, everyone was quite impressed with him-naturally. He had the innocence of one born from a lotus and a pure and ideal physique. He was very beautiful. He converted all the women in the nunnery: they all became his students. " 1 In Lady of the Lotus-Born, there is a wonderful scene where Mandarava and Yeshe Tsogyal, Guru Rinpoche's most well-known consorts, bestow teachings on each other: "Mandarava requested the twenty-seven pith instructions, a special teaching of the Guru, unknown in India.

The Origins of Buddhism in Tibet by Cortland Dahl
The Origins of Buddhism in Tibet By Cortland Dahl Tibetan spirituality is as rich and varied as the Tibetan landscape, which soars from the lofty peaks of the high Himalaya to the remote and hidden jungles of the Indian borderlands. Tibet is home to a multitude of Buddhist traditions and lineages, each with its own unique instructions, texts, and approaches to Buddhist practice. The influx of these lineages from India occurred in two phases. The First Wave of Buddhism in Tibet The first transmission of Buddhism to Tibet was initiated by a series of Tibetan monarchs that ruled the land at the height of its prestige and influence—in the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries CE. King Songtsen Gampo was the first of these rulers. In addition to building numerous Buddhist temples, Songtsen Gampo formed links with the Buddhist cultures that bordered Tibet through his marriages to Chinese and Nepali princesses. Perhaps the most important development during his reign, however, was the creation of the Tibetan alphabet. In the middle of the seventh century, the king sent one of his ministers, Tönmi Sambhota, to India to study the Sanskrit language. The alphabet system created by Sambhota later allowed for the translation of the entire Buddhist canon into the Tibetan language and also served to bridge the geographic and cultural chasms that existed in Tibet at the time. Though Songtsen Gampo is often credited with beginning the process of bringing Buddhism to Tibet, it was during the reign of his descendent, King Trisong Deutsen, that the Buddha’s teachings truly took root in Tibetan soil.
