Karma Lingpa (1326–1386) was a reincarnation of Chokro Lü Gyeltsen, a disciple of Padmasambhava. He was the tertön (revealer) of the Bardo Thodol, the so-called ''Tibetan Book of the Dead''. ==History== Karma Lingpa was embodied in southeast Tibet as the eldest son of Nyida Sanggyé, the great Vajrayana practitioner. At an early age, Karma Lingpa engaged in esoteric practices and achieved many siddhi. When he was fifteen years old, he discovered several terma texts on top of Mount Gampodar, including a collection of teachings entitled "Profound Dharma of Self-Liberation through the Intention of the Peaceful and Wrathful Ones" (''zab-chos zhi khro dgongs pa rang grol'', also known as ''kar-gling zhi-khro''), which includes the two texts of ''bar-do thos-grol'', the so-called "Tibetan Book of the Dead". The ''bar-do thos-grol'' was translated by Kazi Dawa Samdup (1868-1922), and edited and published by W.Y. Evans-Wenz. This translation became widely known and popular as "the Tibetan Book of the Dead", but contains many mistakes in translation and interpretation. Another text from the "Profound Dharma of Self-Liberation" is "Self-Liberation through seeing with naked awareness" (''rigpa ngo-sprod''), which gives an introduction, or pointing-out instruction (''ngo-spro''), into rigpa, the state of presence and awareness. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karma Lingpa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
