Kurukulle

Postby namoh » Thu Nov 22, 2012 2:47 am

does anyone know anything about the tradition of Kurukulle that comes through Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo? ie it's origins, is it from terma or from an earlier Sakya source?
Much thanks.

I think there are several. But I did receive a Kurukulle or Lotus dakini that was a terma by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo.

Divorced from verbal ideation, it is difficult to point out and as difficult to enquire into. It cannot be communicated through words and [therefore] is not within the scope of the neophyte (adikarmika). Nevertheless the path is to be approached through studying scriptures (sutra) of the World-Teacher and following the personal instructions (upadesa) of one's Guru-ji."

Interesting, and thank you. Is it connected in any way to Chokgyur Lingpa's Padma Dakini/Kurukulle? Pardon an ignorant question.

Not in any obvious way except that the deity is exactly the same. Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo has written a lot of sadhana's and commentaries to the Chokling Tersar so he might have written something about the Lotus Dakini also.

It's been a while since I've read this so I don't know if it helps to answer your question directly, but it's a very good teaching:

SARVA MANGALAM
Without clairvoyance, we cannot work for other sentient beings - Khunu Lama
Suddenly you will know the different knowledge without study - Thog-'bebs
One may now accomplish the welfare and instruction of all sentient beings, spontaneously and without effort, by simply being, that is to say, by manifesting one's enlightened nature through spontaneously emanating an infinity of Nirmanakaya manifestations - Vajranatha

Thanks both. I just find myself woefully ignorant of Khyentse Wangpo's termas.
