(Continued From Page 01) Dhampa Rinpoche - The eight-year-old USborn child is the son of a university professor and the grandson of a former Mongolian member of parliament. He has a twin brother. He has dual nationality. Reports claimed that the Dalai Lama institution in Dharamshala is tight-lipped over the real identity of the new Mongolian Tibetan leader as they feel he would be targeted by the Chinese regime. Meanwhile, pointing to the small boy sitting to his left, the Dalai Lama told the gathering, “We have the reincarnation of Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa Rinpoche of Mongolia with us today. His predecessors had a close association with the Krishnacharya lineage of Chakrasamvara. One of them established a monastery in Mongolia dedicated to its practice. So, his being here today is quite auspicious.” As the session came to a close on that day, the Dalai Lama met briefly with a significant contingent of Mongolians who are patrons of this teaching. “Tantra spread widely in Tibet. With regard to Chakrasamvara, the Ghantapada and Luipa traditions were popular, but this Krishnacharya lineage was quite rare. I received it from Tagdrag Rinpoche and have long felt a close affinity for the practice. “Chakrasamvara is classified as a mother tantra. It belongs to the highest yoga tantras. While Guhyasamaja emphasises the illusory body, Chakrasamvara focuses on the clear light. However, if you make the illusory body your primary practice, the clear light also arises. “As I said, I feel a close affinity to the Krishnacharya tradition. I have received the empowerment and undertaken the requisite retreat. This may seem somewhat boastful, but I also feel I have some connection with the great Mahasiddha Krishnacharya. This empowerment requires the preliminary practices that we’ll do today. I’ve done the self-generation and visualised myself as Chakrasamvara.” (IANS Inputs) (Courtesy: https://www.timesnownews.com/)
