  • Who Is the Tigress in the Lair? a Preliminary Enquiry About Khandro Yeshe Tshogyel’S Visit to Taktsang
    Who is the Tigress in the Lair? A Preliminary Enquiry About Khandro Yeshe Tshogyel’s Visit to Taktsang Sonam Kinga+ Introduction The holy site of Taktsang in Paro, Bhutan, is renowned for its association with Guru Rinpoche, his consort Khandro Yeshe Tshogyel and disciple Langchen Pelgi Sengye. Although a monastery was built at this site in 1692 by Gyalse Tenzin Rabgye, the fourth civil ruler of Bhutan, the site was visited and blessed by Guru Rinpoche as far back as the 8th century. Its sacredness has been reinforced by the visits and spiritual undertakings of great Buddhist luminaries over the centuries. Pilgrims and tourists visiting Taktsang are generally told two things associated with Yeshe Tshogyel, who was a Tibetan princess and an emanation of Lhamo Yangchenma (Sarasvati). One, when Guru Rinpoche transformed into Dorje Drolo (one of his eight manifestations) and flew to Taktsang riding on the back of a tigress, Yeshe Tshogyel had transformed into that tigress. Two, Yeshe Tshogyel did the Vajrakilaya practice at the cave of Sengephu in Taktshang. Sources, both oral and literary – including tourist-oriented materials – provide different versions of the narrative of Yeshe Tshogyel, the tigress and Vajrakilaya practice. Trulku Thondup, for example, mentions that Guru Rinpoche practiced Vajrakilaya with Yeshe Tshogyel at Paro Taktshang and that + Dr. Sonam Kinga was the chairperson of the National Council of Bhutan, and currently serves in the faculty at the Royal Institute of Strategic Studies (RIGSS), Phuntsholing, Bhutan. 62 Who is the Tigress in the Lair? she transformed herself into a tigress and became his mount when he manifested as Dorje Drolo (Thondup, 1996, p.

  • Vajrakilaya Tsok Bum
    Vajrakilaya Tsok Bum ©Copyright samyeinstitute.org Relevancia Vajrakilaya, la forma furiosa de Vajrasattva, es la deidad yidam* que personifica la actividad iluminada de todos los buddhas y cuya práctica es conocida por ser la manera más poderosa para disipar obstáculos, destruir fuerzas que son adversas a la compasión y purificar la contaminación espiritual que está tan diseminada en esta época. Historia En la India antigua, muchos practicantes obtuvieron logros a través de las enseñanzas y las prácticas de Vajrakilaya. Con el tiempo, el vidyadhara Prabhahasti, uno de los maestros principales de Guru Padmasambhava, sintetizó las enseñanzas de Vajrakilaya orales y, más tarde, las enseñanzas terma que se revelaron en el osario de Sitavana. Prabhahasti transmitió todas las enseñanzas a su discípulo principal: Guru Padmasambhava. Sin embargo, no fue sino hasta más tarde cuando Guru Padmasambhava, el Mahaguru, reveló el poder máximo de las enseñanzas de Vajrakilaya en Nepal. Este suceso, tal y como se narra en las biografías de Guru Padmasambhava, comienza con el Mahaguru dirigiendo su intención hacia el logro supremo del mahamudra. En búsqueda de un lugar de retiro adecuado, el Mahaguru viajó a Nepal donde conoció a su consorte destinada, Belmo Shakyadevi, en un osario bajo la estupa de Swayambu. Juntos continuaron hacia el sur a las cuevas rocosas de Pharping. Ahí Guru Rinpoche abrió por primera vez el mandala de Yangdak Heruka con Shakyadevi a su lado, y de esta manera iniciaron su retiro. Tan pronto como Guru Padmasambhava se asentó para practicar con su consorte, poderosos demonios los acosaron y sumergieron a todo el país en un estado de hambre, plagas y caos.

  • Crystal Dewdrops from the Lotus Petal: a Brief Biography of H.H. Jigdal Dagchen Sakya and the Importance of the Six Syllable Mantra
    CRYSTAL DEWDROPS FROM THE LOTUS PETAL Crystal Dewdrops from the Lotus Petal: a Brief Biography of H.H. Jigdal Dagchen Sakya and the Importance of the Six Syllable Mantra by Asanga Vajra Sakya ! CRYSTAL DEWDROPS FROM THE LOTUS PETAL I was recently asked to give a talk about the late Vajradhara His Holiness Jigdal Dagchen Dorjechang Rinpoche’s biography. I actually feel very fortunate to be able to have this opportunity to talk about my Guru’s life story because it is said that by talking about one’s Guru’s great qualities one can accumulate vast merit and so I am thankful for being asked to give a short account of the life of His Holiness Dagchen Dorjechang Rinpoche. I would like to thank you for giving me the chance to accumulate lots of good merit. To talk about Dagchen Rinpoche’s life story, it is good to know a little bit about his family history. His family is the Khön family. It started from three brothers who came from the realm of Clear Light which is the God Realm also known as Woser Lha’i Dhung Gyud. It can therefore be understood as the “Lineage or Family of the Gods”. To keep it short, the three brother’s names were Chiring, Yuring and Yusey. For several generations since the origin of the first three brothers, the descendants of the Khön lineage were believed to be pure gods. Then there came a descendent named Yapang Kye, who defeated what we could call a bloodless being (female raksha) and married her.

  • Tibetan Silk Appliqué Thangka: Every Stitch Is a Prayer
    Tibetan silk appliqué thangka: every stitch is a prayer Manjushri, Bodhisattva of Wisdom. Detail of silk appliqué thangka, 2009. Private collection i Tibetan silk appliqué thangka This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Master of Arts of the Australian National University, Canberra Submitted by Edith A. Young August 2010 I certify that this thesis is my own work and that all sources have been acknowledged. Copyright © by Edith Young. All rights reserved. No part of this thesis may be reproduced in any form or by any means, electronic, photocopy, information retrieval system, or otherwise without permission from the author. ii Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge those who have assisted me in the work for this thesis. This thesis would not have been possible without assistance from Bhiksuni Karma Palmo and Bhiksuni Karma Lhadron, who helped me from the very beginning to find artists and contacts in Dharamsala and Kathmandu and provided unfailing encouragement and support throughout. It is thanks to the kindness of the artists and lamas who spoke to me at length of their work, their motivation and their efforts in this revival that I have been able to make this contribution to this area of Tibetan art. I have been humbled and motivated by their dedication and the strength of their commitment to sustaining and reviving this artistic tradition. These artists include Terris Temple and Leslie Ngyuen Temple, who warmly welcomed me in Chiang Mai and shared their stories, and Leslie Rinchen Wongmo who has also encouraged and helped me. I am grateful for the assistance I received from the Office of His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama in Canberra, and I would also like to acknowledge the help of Tenzin Nyimalha, Palden Lama and Tenzin Ringpaponsang, who acted as my translators.
