Source of the Nyingmapa Kathok School in Tibetan Buddhism Source Of The Nyingmapa Kathok School In Tibetan Buddhism The advent of Tibetan Buddhism began in the dynasty of Ancient Tibet during the reign of the 29th King Lha Thothori Nyantseni. When it came to the era of the 33rd King Songtsen Gampo in AD 629, during the monarchy of Chinese Emperor Tang Taizong, court alliances were forged with the Tang Dynasty's imperial office and the Nepalese king through marriages. Princess Wencheng and the Nepalese Princess Tritsun were invited to Tibet and their dowry included a Shakyamuni Buddha statue and copious volumes of Buddhist scriptures. In order to install the statue and Buddhist scriptures and also partially as a geomantic remedy for the inauspicious shape of Tibet which resembled a female demon, the construction of the Larger and Smaller Jokhangs (monasteries) and 108 other monasteries ensued. At that time, despite numerous monasteries being constructed, there remained a dearth of Tibetan monastics. Songtsen Gampo then sent many people to study Sanskrit and Pali in India, amongst whom a high officer Thomi Sambhota created the Tibetan Language which is currently being used, exerting a far-reaching influence on the latter-day development of Tibetan Buddhism. During the regime of the 38th King Trisong Deutsen, an edict was issued to propagate Buddhism. Khenpo Bodhisattva (Prince Shiwatsoii of the Indian King of Sahor), Guru Padmasambhavaiii and many Buddhist specialists were invited to Tibet. The Samye Monasteryiv was constructed. It was the first temple in Tibetan history which was modeled after the historical Indian Odantapura Monastery and incorporated elements of Chinese, Tibetan and Indian architecture. The Tibetan King Trisong Deutsen invited Buddhist scholars from India, Nepal and various regions, trained talented people in translation skills and commissioned the large-scale translation of Buddhist scriptures. With the great master Vairotsana and seven others taking the lead in the experimental inception of monastic ordinationv in Tibet, some 300 other people followed suit to take ordination, creating the first Sangha community, thus the Buddhadharma began to flourish widely in Tibet. Since the time when Guru Padmasambhava began to teach the Dharma and benefit beings, the past lineage Gurus had sustained the transmission until the Kathok lineage master Dampa Deshek. The teachings of the Dharma have continued uninterruptedly like the perpetual blossoming of the lotus flower. The lineage is as follows: Guru Padmasambhava Khenchen Bodhisattva Vimalamitra Vairotsana Yudra Nyingpo The translator of Nyag, Jhanakumara Palgyi Yeshe Nubchen Sangye Yeshe Yonten Gyatso Nyang Sherab Chok Yeshe Jungney (Below are the three famous Nyingma Masters of the Zur family, they are the great Buddhist scholars of the Tantric scripture collections.) Zurpoche Shakya Jungney Zurchung Sherab Drakpa Zur Shakya Senggey (otherwise known as Sangdak Dropukpa) Dzamton Drowai Gonpo Kathok Lineage Master Dampa Deshek i AD 500, the king Lha Thothori Nyantsen was residing at Yong-Bula Palace when from the sky fell volumes of the "Hundred Prostrations Amending and Confession Sutra", a golden stupa, "Heart-essence of Jewel Ornament Sutra taught by Buddha -- the Mani mantra" , "Cittamani Practice". A voice from the sky announced, "Five generations from now, the meanings in these scriptures would be known." Thereupon, the King Lha Thothori Nyantsen ensconced these texts in the treasure vault of the palace and made offerings earnestly to pray for good fortune. He named them the "Secret Exalted Treasure". This was the beginnings of Tibetan Buddhism. ii Khenpo Bodhisattva, also known as 'Silent Life' or 'Guardian of Peace' (Shantarakshita) took ordination under the translator Wisdom Treasure at Nalanda monastery, and undertook the Upasampada (full set of Bhikshu vows). He was a Madhayamaka master and author of the Madhyamakalankara (Adornment of the Middle Way). iii Lotus-born, Guru Rinpoche or otherwise known as Padmasambhava was born in western India in the ancient kingdom Oddiyana. He was fostered by the King Indrabhuti in the position of prince. The King named him 'Lotus-born', later he went to Manjala and was ordinated by the translator Prabhahasti. Padmasambhava received the Kagye teachings from the eight Vidyadharas and received the Guhyagarbha teachings from the translator Buddhaguhya. From Shri Singha, he listened to many sutric and tantric teachings but primarily the Dzogchen teachings. Padmasambhava wandered through Manjala, India, Bhutan, Nepal etc, leading many beings with affinity to take refuge in Buddhism. iv Samye monastery's architectural style: its main hall symbolizes Mount Meru, the smaller halls that surround it symbolize the four main continents, the eight subsidiary continents, sun and moon. Stupas frame the borders of the monastery. It is a very majestic monastery. Samye monastery has survived several great fires, renovations and repairs were carried out each time to restore it. In the 11th century, monastic diaspora began to return to Tibet and congregated at Samye monastery, thus making it the main monastery of the Nyingmapas. v In an experiment to determine if the Tibetans' lifestyle was suited for holding the ordination vows, seven men were put to the test. This was called the 'experimental inception' or 'Tibetan experiment of the seven awakened ones.' .

  • Materials of Buddhist Culture: Aesthetics and Cosmopolitanism at Mindroling Monastery
    Materials of Buddhist Culture: Aesthetics and Cosmopolitanism at Mindroling Monastery Dominique Townsend Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Dominique Townsend All rights reserved ABSTRACT Materials of Buddhist Culture: Aesthetics and Cosmopolitanism at Mindroling Monastery Dominique Townsend This dissertation investigates the relationships between Buddhism and culture as exemplified at Mindroling Monastery. Focusing on the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, I argue that Mindroling was a seminal religio-cultural institution that played a key role in cultivating the ruling elite class during a critical moment of Tibet’s history. This analysis demonstrates that the connections between Buddhism and high culture have been salient throughout the history of Buddhism, rendering the project relevant to a broad range of fields within Asian Studies and the Study of Religion. As the first extensive Western-language study of Mindroling, this project employs an interdisciplinary methodology combining historical, sociological, cultural and religious studies, and makes use of diverse Tibetan sources. Mindroling was founded in 1676 with ties to Tibet’s nobility and the Fifth Dalai Lama’s newly centralized government. It was a center for elite education until the twentieth century, and in this regard it was comparable to a Western university where young members of the nobility spent two to four years training in the arts and sciences and being shaped for positions of authority. This comparison serves to highlight commonalities between distant and familiar educational models and undercuts the tendency to diminish Tibetan culture to an exoticized imagining of Buddhism as a purely ascetic, world renouncing tradition.

This leads to a state of (outward) solitude, which can (but need not necessarily) be temporarily and spatially delimited.

Wilber’s supposedly universal ontogenetic holoarchy contradicts all Buddhist Paths, whereas his view of phylogeny contradicts Buddhist Tantra and Dzogchen, which claim delusion/being increase throughout the aeon to finally achieve reductio ad absur- dum. Wilber presents spiritual healing as ascent; Grof and Washburn represent it as descent—yet they are all equally off the mark.

    Dzogchen Lineage Transmission of Khenpo Sherab Sangpo The guru is the Buddha, the guru is the Dharma, The guru is the Sangha. The guru is the one who grants all accomplishment. The guru is the glorious Vajradhāra. bodhicittasangha.org 1 of 8 All of the written and oral instructions of the tantras teach countless steps to accomplish the glorious guru who grants all siddhis. Begin by generating the wish to free all beings as infinite as space from the causes and the conditions of suffering and to lead them to omniscience and to complete enlightenment. With this intention visualize in front of you your glorious root guru seated on a lion’s throne of lotus, sun, and moon stacked upon one another. Your precious root guru, the all-encompassing treasury of compassion, is in essence all of the buddhas of the three times and the source of all blessings and of all accomplishments who is inseparable from Longchenpa, the All-knowing Dharma King. Above your root guru’s head are the gurus of the Dzogchen Lineage appearing one above the other. Around them visualize a great gathering of all the gurus whose face you have seen, whose voice you have heard, or through whom you have a connection to the Dharma. Take Refuge Namo I and all infinite beings respectfully take refuge In the Gurus, the Iṣṭadevatās, and the Dākinīs, And in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Noble Sangha, Whose vast gathering fills space.

  • Padmasambhava and the Nyingma Lineage ~
    ~ Padmasambhava and the Nyingma Lineage ~ Mingyur Rinpoche Guru Rinpoche brought the Dzogchen teachings to Tibet, as well as Vimalamitra. Vimalamitra was also Shri Singha's student. They each brought Dzogchen teachings to Tibet in different forms. And Guru Rinpoche had another student called “Vairotsana.” Vairotsana was a translator. He translated a lot of texts from Sanskrit to Tibetan. Guru Rinpoche sent him to India to also learn the general buddhadharma and Dzogchen. Vairotsana also learned a lot of Dzogchen. Vairotsana, Guru Rinpoche, and Vimalamitra — the three of them brought all the Dzogchen teachings from India to Tibet. And from there, the Dzogchen teachings continued until now as the unbroken lineage that came to Tibet. Mainly, Guru Rinpoche taught this to twenty-five students who were his main disciples. One of them was Vairotsana, and Vairotsana also continued to teach other students. And then Vimalamitra taught Dzogchen to Nyang Tingdzin Zangpo. Nyang Tingdzin Zangpo was a meditator who was very good at shamatha meditation. He did not know anything about vipashyana but was a very good shamatha meditator. He was one of the first teachers of the Tibetan king. later, he became Vimalamitra's student, and from there, Vimalamitra's Dzogchen teaching also continued. But in general, in Dzogchen, Guru Rinpoche, or Padmasambhava, is a really important lineage holder, especially in Tibet. Guru Rinpoche taught Dzogchen to many students in Tibet. And also, Guru Rinpoche put a lot of all these Dzogchen teachings into treasure form. Treasure is another lineage. There were twenty-five main disciples, another 108 disciples, and then thousands of disciples more of Guru Rinpoche.

  • 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.
