So basically the Shangpa lineage went everywhere. The reason that it went everywhere is because that the Niguma she said that: “my teaching cannot be given to the public until the 7th generation [The Seven Great Jewels of the Shangpa Kagyu: Buddha Vajradhara, Niguma, Khyungpo Naljor, Mokchokpa, Kyergangpa, Rigongpa, Sangye Tönpa], once it’s reached to the 7th lineage holder, that means including herself and then the 6 holders, then it could be given to the public. Until then it cannot be given to the public”.
So her teachings [The Five Jewels of Niguma – The Five Golden Teachings – gser chos lnga] are very special. In Tibetan we call it:
- “rtsa ba ni gu chos drug” [The roots: The Six Yogas of Niguma – Nigu Chö Druk],
- “sdong po phyag chen ga’u ma” [The trunk: The Mahamudra of the Amulet Box – phyag chen ga’u ma],
- “yal kha lam khyer rnam gsum” [The branches: The Three Ways of Carrying Realization on the Path],
- “me tog mkha’ spyod dkar dmar” [The flowers: The Red and White Khecari],
- “bras bu ‘chi med chugs med” [The fruit: Deathlessness and Non-deviation].
So that is the all teachings, it is based on a tree and a seed and a foundation and the branches and so on.
So the whole concept of the visualization of the Niguma becomes very, very subtle. Just to give you an example of her visualization, her visualization goes very subtle, such as like “two white liquid, two white liquid, two white liquid like a sphere chasing after another, chasing after another, chasing and then speeding up, speeding up, speeding up and then finally making a contact with each other creating a white bright light”. And then meditating in that state.
So like an example, this is a teaser to brainwash you, to manipulate you, to brainwash you, to seduce you [haha].
