Samding Dorje Phagmo () is the highest female incarnation in Tibet〔''The Power-places of Central Tibet: The Pilgrim's Guide'', (1988) p. 268. Keith Dowman. ISBN 0-7102-1370-0.〕 and the third highest-ranking person in the hierarchy after the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama.〔''The Fourteen Dalai Lamas: A Sacred Legacy of Reincarnation'', p. 175. Glenn H. Mullin. Clear Light Publishers. Santa Fe, New Mexico. ISBN 1-57416-092-3.〕 She was listed among the highest-ranking reincarnations at the time of the 5th Dalai Lama, recognized by the Tibetan government and acknowledged by the emperors of Qing China.〔Diemberger, Introduction, page 2〕 She was the student of the famous polymath Thang Tong Gyalpo, who first identified her as a tulku of Vajravārāhī. ==History and background== Her seat, Samding Monastery "Temple of Soaring Meditation", is associated with the Bodong school of Tibetan Buddhism. It was unique because half of the inhabitants were monks and the other half were nuns and its head was a woman.〔''To Lhasa in Disguise: A Secret Expedition through Mysterious Tibet'', p. 294. W. M. McGovern (1924). Reprint: Delhi, Asian Educational Services, 2000. ISBN 81-206-1456-9.〕 It The female tulku who was the abbess of Samding was traditionally a nirmanakaya emanation of Vajravārāhī.〔Tashi Tsering, ''A Preliminary Reconstruction of the Successive Reincarnations of Samding Dorje Phagmo; The Foremost Woman Incarnation of Tibet'' , Youmtsho – ''Journal of Tibetan Women's Studies'', no. 1, pp.20–53.〕 The lineage started in the 15th century with the princess of Gungthang, Chökyi Drönma (, 1422–1455).〔(When a woman becomes a dynasty: the Samding Dorje Phagmo of Tibet )〕 She became known as Samding Dorje Pagmo () and began a line of female tulkus, reincarnate lamas. She was a contemporary of the 1st Dalai Lama (1391–1474) and her teacher Bodong Panchen Chogley Namgyal also was one of his teachers. She manifested at Samding Monastery in order to tame Yamdrok Lake, a sacred lake as well as a dangerous flashpoint for massive flooding events in Tibet. However, her effects were more practical: as abbess of Samding, she stopped the invasion of the Dzungars, who were reportedly terrified of her great siddhi powers. When faced with her anger - reputedly by turning the 80 śrāmaṇerīs under her care into furious wild sows - they left the goods and valuables they had plundered as offerings at her monastery and fled the region.〔p. 185〕 Charles Alfred Bell met the tulku in 1920 and took photographs of her, calling her by the Tibetan name for Vajravarahi, ''Dorje Pamo'' (which he translated as "Thunderbolt Sow"), in his book.〔(Dorje Pamo at Samding Monastery – November 1920 )〕〔(Table of contents for When a woman becomes a dynasty: the Samding Dorje Phagmo of Tibet / Hildegard Diemberger. )〕〔Bell, Charles (1946) ''Portrait of the Dalai Lama''. London: Collins; pp. 134, 195 & pl. XVII "The Thunderbolt Sow, the highest female phantom body, seated buddhawise on her couch in a tent"〕 The current incarnation, the 12th of this line,〔(A Summary Report of the 2007 International Congress on the Women's Role in the Sangha: Bhikshuni Vinaya and Ordination Lineages ) see contribution of Ven. Lobsang Dechen, Co-director of the Tibetan Nuns’ Project, Dharamsala, India〕 resides in Lhasa.〔Pamela Logan, (''Tulkus in Tibet'' ), ''Harvard Asia Quarterly'', Vol. VIII, No. 1. Winter 2004.〕 where she is known as ''Female Living Buddha Dorje Palma'' by China.〔(– Yamzhog Yumco Lake guide ) Selected from ''China's Tibet'' by Samxuba Gonjor Yundain〕 Samding Monastery was destroyed after 1959 but is in the process of being restored.〔 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「Samding Dorje Phagmo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
