HOW KASHMIR GAVE TANTRIC BUDDHISM TO TIBET
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лют 2023
- The Tantric Master Padmasambhava or Guru Rinpoche brought Buddhism to Tibet from his home in Kahsmir in the 9 th century and was the founder of Vajrayana Buddhism and the author of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. He began his life in modern-day Kashmir and then traveled to Tibet and Bhutan to establish one the most significant Tantric systems ever seen in the World. This story is a syncretic and wonderful mix of symbols and stories celebrating how both Kashmir Shaivism and Tibetan Buddhism came from the exact origins through the teachings of one man Padma Sambhava and inspired a complete worldview we now celebrate through Shaivism and the Buddhism of the Dalai Lama.

Born out of the heart
I love the way you tell your stories with the honest humour added.
Your laugh its very catchy...
A fascinating story. Told with a lot of feeling.
I ❤ at the beginning when you sing mantras.
Voice of the divine.
Very illuminating, yes, Kashmir,s glorious past.
Thanks! The magnificent cliffside Tiger Monastery in Bhutan is supposed to be one of the locations where Guru Rinpoche & Yeshe Tsogyal meditated. After a long and arduous hike up that mountain, one effortlessly slips into a meditative state upon reaching the summit. Definitely worth a visit!
Thank you for your kindness...Yes the most beautiful monastery in the world
You cannot take out Guru Rinpoche from vajrayana in these Himalayan countries.
If you do, tantrism will collapse. 💐
Thank you for this wonderful lecture on the Great Vajra tradition. Best Wishes !
Thanks for this very brief overview of Buddhist Tantra(Vajrayana/Mantrayana). This reinforces my belief that Tantra is a system all its own but was adopted by and overlays Buddhist and Hindu (and to a lesser degree Christian, Jewish) thought. Having taken the Buddhist Tantra path I do appreciate the similarities between the different forms of Tantra, particularly those of Kashmiri Shaivism. As a practitioner of Vajrayana, an area of disagreement I have is with your description of tantric sex in the Buddhist context. In Vajrayana, sex is sacred and all Buddhist precepts in regards to sex are followed. Sacred sex is about the transformation of "ordinary sex" into the sacred by realization of one's innate buddha nature and is experienced as sunyata, luminous presence, and bodhicitta. This is symbolized in the deities' sexual embrace as the union of wisdom( feminine) and compassion (masculine) forms. I think this probably holds true for Kashmiri Shaivism Tantra as well but perhaps with a different emphasis.
I don't think he said anything to make me think they weren't treating it as sacred. Perhaps you were projecting a bit? He was very respectful of our tradition. Is it because he didn't make padmasambava sound like a stern, solemn, stoic renunciate? A self-fleggalating monk? Because that's not Tantra, at all. That's not Padmasambava.
We are talking about blissful practices here, not Sunday school. The spiritual life is meant to be enjoyed. Here, enjoyment does not mean sinking into hedonism, either. It just means, Bodhicitta by its very nature is blissful and enjoyable. It's OK to enjoy it, it's OK to smile when talking about it.
You see, the ego has no tolerance for bliss. That's why it is so important. Bliss is inseperable from emptiness. If you are always on guard, you will never experience it.

Thank you, Choundrey ❤️
Padmasambhva was born in the lotus as an 8 year old boy. The king was bereft because he didn't have an heir, so when he saw Padmasambhava he took him home.😁
All humans are born from a mother. It is faith that gives us great stories
I have seen actual wonders, so I am open to the idea that an enlightened being could manifest on a lotus.@@rajadasworld
And I was born on a cloud
Amazing session
Excellent Video Sir. Padmasambhava is fascinating, some refer to him as the Second Buddha. I put together a Video on my Channel awhile back with some of his teachings.
Oddiyana is usually not associated with Kashmir, but with Afhanistan area. Although, this conjecture, that Vajrayana came from Kashmir is perhaps a good one, and I myself was few times thinking about if it could have been Kashmir, since this diverse spiritual confluence of all possible religions and teachings is known to have produced a great many Siddhas and masters. There has been, undoubtedly cultural exchange and mixing among Mahayana buddha dharma and Shaiva/Shakta traditions, that is undoubtedly true. But if you ask any Tibetan lama, all mention Afghanistan and no one mentions Kashmir.
Forget the name of the book, but apparently the Kashmir empire extended all the way to Caspian sea (including present day Afghanistan). Rishi Kashyap i believe is the reason it was called Kashmir.
@@MaithiliKulkarni hou are right ! Kashmir was and is a Great Mani ( Gem , Treasure ) !
Sweet Heart of Bharat !
Blessings. Always refreshing to move away from race, politics, and all of that jargon to come back to non dualism👌🏽👌🏽
Wonderful teachings.
Thank you 🙏
Just got back from Nepal and bhutan and was so struck by the similarities btwn Tibetan and kashmir tantra, down to the iconography on the walls of the temples. Met the Lama of the Gangtey monastery and wound up spending over 3 hrs in his room discussing the commonalities and differences btwn the two paths.
Thanks Very enlightening,like ken wilbers
Namo Guru Padmasambhava 🙏 💐
Thanks for the information 🙏🪷
Mahamudra is a teaching that belongs into Mahayoga tantra. it's classified as the 3rd triplet of the highest vehicles in the 9 vehicle calssification. Maha Ati (aka Dzogpachenpo - The Great Perfection), however, is NOT a tantra as the only skilful means in Dzogchen is Self-Liberation - Self-liberation is a vehicle in itself. Originally, the teaching of Dzogpachenpo is derrived from 17 tantras, the books are still called tantras, but the skillful means is distinnctly non-tantric and non-grafual in its MO.
Sir Parnam, you r gem of a person, GAFAR ME SAGAR. Amazing are the ways of ur ways of description, wow great. Would you please suggest me some name to learn Tantra. I belong to punjab. I am mesmerizing by Kali Maa. Please do suggest . Regards

10:46 There may be psychedelic ingredients in the popular Santa Claus myth, but Saint Nicholas of Myra himself was simply a very compassionate bishop in what is today southern Turkey.
Vajrayana may be a combination of Tantra, worship of local gods like Tara and Buddhism.
It originated in Assam. During the Kamarupa dynasty of 350 - 1140 AD.
Om manipathme heim Of TAMILNADU
super interesting, thanks for doing.
how do we separate the myth and magic and superstition from the truth/reality of this stuff?
We don't - we use the archetype metaphor as an initiation into the deeper mysteries and then we transcend - story > practice > direct experience
@@rajadasworld ,
Thank you for the keys to the solution that I have been having issues to describe, expound to my christian friends.. story/myth/legend > practice > direct experience = conclusion...
Well, I would suggest if anyone is interested in the history, they should look for the Tibetan sources.
See truth from all sides and open your mind
I am speaking of truth as facts. the Tibetans wrote it all down as it happend, and so is a very reliable factual source.@@rajadasworld
The lake was formed out of the pyre of Padmasambhava not island as you said.
Out of all I said that is all you got out of it. How sad
In my understanding Savism still reifies reality as "one" whereas Vajrayana and Dzogchen do not. It is spontaneous, luminous, diverse, without beginning or end but not all "one thing." Buddhism and Tantric Buddhism is still grounded in dependent originiation.
Non duality underlies all schools of Buddhis thought. There are no subject - object dichotomies and therefore no "one with everything" constructs as all phenomena arise and exists in dependence of other phenomena. Kashmiri Shaivism seems to come close to a non-dual system of thought but there is still a whiff of dualistic thinking . The Dzogchen tantra states that "only mind exists and that this mind has created both samsara and nirvana; Outside of mind neither the one nor the other exists".
Buddhism and Vedanta definitely influenced each other especially with the culture of debate in ancient India. So even if Kashmir gave tantra to Buddhism the Vedic tradition would not be what it is without Buddhist philosophers like Arya Nagarjuna.
@@happypoochmoseley4717 this is true but things don’t stop appearing once a Buddha is enlightened. If they did Buddha wouldn’t have been able to teach anyone. So the idea of samsara and nirvana “not existing” is that our conceptions of them are not real. As long as we are still embodied we will still see appearances etc, and even after death nothingness is not described in Dzogchen as a mere blankness or nothingness, it’s a purity where emptiness and appearance are one. And appearance is described as bright and luminous
and Nagarjuna would have never written the seminal work of Madhyamaka without the Sophisticated philosophies of non-Buddhist schools in India 🙏
@@Skygoers Maybe. His work is completely based on pratityasamutpada.
What do you think about Neidan ( Taoist Internal Alchemy ) ?
Yes very powerful too
The difference between the two tantras is the perspective of Shunyata, the emptiness.
No. The difference is that Shaiva Tantra sees the mind behind the universe is Sadha Shiva and pure intelligent consciousness with a being of compassion behind everything and Buddhism see that the hole universe is just mind with the Suunyata as its nature or pure Buddha mind
@@rajadasworld As with all things Buddhist, there are many, many different schools with varying philosophies and practices between them (Shakyamuni Buddha was said to have taught 84,000 different meditation techniques to suit the capacities or disposition of individual students) . The one thing they all agree on however is that all sentient beings are already enlightened from beginningless time and only need awaken to this condition as a Buddha. In the Nyingma tradition of Vajrayana (which you referenced in the beautiful video) Padmasambhava, considered to be the Tantric Buddha of our time, taught the 6, 400,000 verses of the Dzogchen Tantra as revealed by the primordial Buddha Samantabhadra. The purpose of Dzogchen practice is simply to realize the radiance and natural expression of wisdom and compassion, which is beyond all intellectual concepts. It is for the true realization of Absolute Buddha Nature, uncontrived just as it is, the ultimate fruition. From the Dzogchen Tantra, "Then will come the ‘four visions of tögal’ which are the natural arising of visions of discs and rays of light, deities and buddha fields. These experiences are not linked with consciousness or intellect as the former experiences were; they are a true manifestation or radiance of awareness. After this, in the same way that the moon decreases and disappears from the fifteenth to the thirtieth of the month, all of these experiences and visions, all phenomena, will gradually come to exhaustion and reabsorb themselves in the Absolute. At this time the deluded mind which conceives subject and object will disappear, and the primal wisdom, which is beyond intellect, will gradually expand. Eventually one will attain the perfect compassion and enlightenment of the Primordial Buddha, Samantabhadra, endowed with the six extraordinary features."
@@rajadasworld . Thank You !
Prepare for The Bardo ❤❤❤❤
Well, you did have to give up "taking refuge" in local gods to be a Buddhist.
They integrated the Bon teachings in Tibet, not suppressed them. That's what made Padmasambhava great
The Buddhists definitely supressed the "taking refuge" in local, unenlightened gods.@@rajadasworld
Is it padme... (meaning lotus..)
Or is it pedme while chanting.
Which is right chanting?
Tibetans say pedme - same thing
It is Sanskrit and it is 'Pad-ma'
@@rajadasworld . Om Ah Hum Benza Guru Pema Siddhi Houng . The Tibetans say : Pema .Benza is Vajra . Houng is " angry " way for Hum . Thank You for your Teaching !
I really enjoy !
Buddhist look out for all sentient beings the sacred teaching where brought to Tibet from india he was from India.....the lotus was his spiritual rebirth to Tara Nova ..Ganesh is in buddhism Tara or Cinnamasta many are ...We are One and so above so it is below.we are One. your in me your a part of me i adore!!! namasta.
the teachings are when the two male energies /female energies join as one inside not sex as we know it He new about energy .We fell after Atlantis reduced to 2 strand DNA made us slaves....today we are the opposite to this... DNA upgraded everything coming in source energies via universal ancestries ..Kagyu was to regain inner balance in a patriarchal neg world Its balance in oneness that allows the space for spiritual expansions as we are experiencing in today.
That is one interpretation and correct in esoteric terms, but Kaula always did involve the 5 M's and sexuality was part of the transmutation
Oddiyana is a Tibetan mispronunciation of Ariyana - land of the Aryans.
Did Buddha teach tantra or not
There was no such thing as Tantra in Buddha's time - that evolved after the 3rd century and became part of Vajrayana in Bhutan and Tibet after the 9th century
That kaula Tantra part is 🧢
Hey i really think u should not make up stories
You have no knowledge about buddhism let alone history misinterpretation
Niow, now, don't be so defensive. Open your mind to all possibilities and interpretations instead of being dogmatic to the tales of Guru Rimpoche taught in traditional ways
@Cooltrue can you show this to dzongkar khentse Rinpoche🙏🙏
❤❤❤
