It is realized through the blessing grace of the Guru and fortunate Karmic potential.

Isn't Jnana Sagara Yeshe Tsogyal?

Re: Jnana Sagara
She immediately came to mind when I saw this thread as well... it's how she is referred to in her mantra.dzogchungpa wrote:Isn't Jnana Sagara Yeshe Tsogyal?

Re: Jnana Sagara
Sure, Jnana Sagara is a literal back translation of Yeshe Tsogyal, for sure.
Is she ever referred to by a Sanskrit name in texts, though? I've not seen it, but my exposure is minimal.....

Re: Jnana Sagara
I know Jnana means actualized wisdom and related to the Vipassana nanas per wiki search. Sagara was a Vedic King. I don't know if this will help your search. I remember seeing this name but I can't remember where.pemachophel wrote:Can anyone tell me about the Deity Jnana Sagara in Tibetan Buddhism?

Re: Jnana Sagara
Yeshe Tshogyal, of course! Thank you very much. That totally fits the context. She's mentioned in Yumka Dechen Gyalmo which is a Yeshe Tshogyal sadhana.
