Kalu Rinpoche | Vajradhara Ling 2024 (2) – Shawaripa’s clairvoyant connection

So now here comes the important point for your attention. So you may not remember all of it but this origin of Six-Armed Mahakala is very important. So we have explained all the history of Avalokiteshvara, Six-Armed Mahakala, already.

[Tibetan]
So basically Buddha Shakyamuni, after the Buddha passes to nirvana, after 600 years, close to 600 years, and then there is a yogi called Shawaripa and he is a realized being. He was doing his meditation and then at that time, in his meditation cave, Six-Armed Mahakala revealed himself to Shawaripa and gave all the teachings and transmissions including Green Tara appeared and then Vajrayogini, Avalokiteshvara Two Arms. All of them appeared and gave all the transmission and teaching and the way of practicing and so on.

Shawaripa is the first yogi master who wrote down everything in text and so on.

From my understanding and observation, there are different stages of clairvoyant connection:

For some individual, they have auspicious sign, here and there, here and there. That’s kind of impermanent, temporary, you are still vulnerable.

Then, there is also when you have a clairvoyance experience, when you are able, not with the overthinking, there is a difference between overthinking and projecting that idea in front of you “Oh, I think I see” that is completely nonsense, you’re being delusional. There is a big difference between “you being delusional and losing your mind” and then a person who is “having the clairvoyant experience”. So when there is an individual having a clairvoyance experience, that individual has already surpassed all the illusions of mind. That’s the 2nd category.

Then the final category I find, from reading all the different biography and history, there is also great master and yogi, who are actually all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas or like an example Six-Armed Mahakala, revealing themself and telling them that you should be the, not lineage holder, more like “I will give you this transmission” not just revealing themself but “we give you this transmission so you write down in text”, right? So then that become the origin of the lineage, right?

Like an example Thangtong Gyalpo when he was going in pilgrimage, he never met Niguma in person. Historically, timeline there is a hundred and hundred years gap in between, there is almost 400 years in between. But Thangtong Gyalpo when he was on his pilgrimage in the Central Tibet, and then he had this clairvoyant experience of Niguma, and the Niguma gave all the transmission and then Thangtong Gyalpo wrote his version of Niguma’s teachings.

There is a version of Khyungpo Naljor, Khyungpo Lotsawa, and then there is a version of Thangtong Gyalpo, little bit different, more or less everything is the same. So that kind of individual, realised being, that have a great clairvoyant experience but somehow they also get the permission to write down the text. It is not that they are asking for it, it is more like the karmic level, let’s put it like this, just for your general knowledge.
