We then learn how to meditate on the correct view by cultivating pristine wisdom that is the union of serenity and insight as taught in the Pāli, Chinese, and Tibetan traditions. Work out your Achievement in some place free of hindrances; forcefully cut the ties of whatever restricts you. Guru Rinpoche had foreknowledge of this and was already on his way, gradually traveling from Nepal, and he met them in Mangyul.

His root teacher, Khenpo Münsel, was a direct disciple of Khenpo Ngagchung and was himself one of the great authentic Dzogchen masters of the twentieth century. to the Red Rock, at glorious Samye Monastery, spontaneously created �� on the golden throne with fearless combat lions, on a pile of cushions with five brilliant brocades, under the fresh shade of a fringed umbrella which simulated the rainbow, before outer and inner tables covered with precious offerings and thigh bones set in rows, in the middle of clouds of men and of gods, the second Buddha, having become visible to many people, the Great Guru Padma sat down smiling. It then miraculously transformed into an eight-year-old child, endowed with all the major and minor marks of perfection, and holding a vajra and a lotus.Together they practised glorious Śrī Heruka, but were hindered by spirits, rākṣasas and magical creatures' intent on creating obstacles — causing a three year drought and, with it, famine and disease. He established Aśoka in unwavering faith, after which, in a single miraculous night, the king erected one million stūpas all around the world, all containing the relics of the Buddha.

And so, with the dual purpose of protecting Samyé and preventing future invasions of Tibet by hostile neighbouring tribes, the Guru sent prince Murub Tsenpo with an army to the Uyghur hermitage (bha ta hor gyi sgom grwa) located in the Gansu corridor.

Translated by Kenneth Douglas and Gwendolyn Bays from Toussaint's French, corrected with the original Tibetan.How to Face Death without Fear has been compiled from years of Rinpoche’s teachings and has been lovingly edited by Venerable Robina Courtin. These works expanded the profile and activities of Padmasambhava, now seen as taming all the Tibetan spirits and gods, and concealing various secret texts ( terma) for future tertöns. However, little is known about the actual historical figure other than his ties to Vajrayana and Indian Buddhism. Approaching our physical realities in this way will help us to live well and, when the time comes as it inevitably will, to die well too. Read and re-read, contemplated and carried in heart and mind, meanings sealed into the Tibetan text begin to emerge, however palely they may be reflected in the English translation.
