HH Sakya Trichen's Empowerment of Avalokiteshvara: Combination of Great Compassion and Mahamudra lineage?

Post by stoneinfocus »

Hi all,

I'm sure many of you are aware of the initiation that HH 41st Sakya Trichen gave today online entitled "Empowerment of Avalokiteshvara: Combination of Great Compassion and Mahamudra".

I am wondering what the lineage and details, etc...of this empowerment is. His Holiness did not go into detail about any of this, only stating that it is an empowerment of 4-arm Chenrezig, and it sounded like he said it came from a Lama Sakyapa? Might have misheard that.

Perhaps HH 42nd Sakya Trizin will give more information tomorrow when he gives teachings on practice.

Thanks!

The lineage is Śākyamuni, Vajrāsanapāda, Bari Lotsawa, Sönam Tsemo, Drakpa Gyaltsen, Sakya Paṇḍita, etc.

Thanks, but I mean where is the empowerment from, who wrote it, in what cycle, etc...? Like, is it from the King's Tradition, etc...? Perhaps lineage was too broad of a term.

It is a permission rite, and the actual permission rite was composed by Zhuchen Tsultrim Rinchen, an 18th century Sakya lama from Derge, Kham. It is not the Kings Tradition. That is a major empowerment. The cycle it is from is the Bari Gyatsa.

Thank you Malcolm, that is exactly what I wanted to know. :anjali:

Is jenang the correct term then, or is it a different kind of permission rite?
