| English | Avalokiteshvara, as I have said, appears in our universe not, as is the case for ordinary beings, as a result of his past karma and obscuring emotions, but to benefit beings. In India he manifested as a bodhisattva who requested Buddha Shakyamuni to turn the wheel of Dharma. In Tibet, in the seventh century, he appeared as the great King Songtsen Gampo31King Songtsen Gampo (srong btsan sgam po), 609-698, the first of the three great Buddhist kings of Tibet, an emanation of Buddha Avalokiteshvara. in order to establish Buddhism in the Land of Snows. In our time, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Gyalwa Karmapa are emanations of Avalokiteshvara. Guru Padmasambhava32Guru Padmasambhava, the Lotus Born Guru, was an emanation of the dharmakaya Buddha Amitabha, of the sambhogakaya Buddha Avalokiteshvara, and of the nirmanakaya Buddha Shakyamuni. Born immaculately from a lotus, he brought the teachings of surra and tantra to Tibet, and concealed countless spiritual treasures, or termas, to be rediscovered in due time for the benefit of successive generations. is also an emanation of Avalokiteshvara who manifested countless forms throughout his miraculous, self-liberated lives. Guru Padmasambhava and Avalokiteshvara continue to appear in infinite forms dedicated to the benefit of all living beings. This unceasing flow of activity will continue until not a single being remains in samsara. Some sutras in the Tripitaka the collection of the Buddha's discourses-such as the Sutra Designed as a Jewel Chest, and the Sutra of the White Lotus of Compassion,33See bibliography. contain detailed accounts of Avalokiteshvara's life of perfect liberation. |
