THE GREAT VIDYADHARA MIGYUR DORJE

Just as Lord Buddha Shakyamuni was born without harming his mother or causing her even the slightest bit of pain, the Vidyadhara Migyur Dorje was painlessly born on the seventh day of the ninth month of the Wood Bird Year (1645). His right hand was marked by an extraordinary blue mole, symbolizing the single-essential nature of the Dharmakaya.

Unlike other children, as a small child he always made dharma hand gestures such as the lotus-circle mudra and threatening mudra, pressing his palms together at his heart and so forth. In addition, to the astonishment of everyone, he did secret yogic exercises. [more...]

MAHASIDDHA KARMA CHAGMED RINPOCHE

Karma Chagmed Rinpoche was born in 1613, the tenth Tibetan rabjung year. He was born in the province Nyomtod region of Zalmo Gang. At the moment he was born, his father, the Mahasiddha Pedma Wangdrag, bestowed Terton Ratna Lingpa’s Tsegug and Tsepag Sangdu-kyi Torwang upon the infant. His father then named him Wangdrag Sung (Powerful Speech) because he had been introduced to the dharma, and especially Ratna Lingpa’s revelations, at the moment he entered into the world.

As a child, the young Wangdrag Sung would regularly see gods, spirits and non-human entities. While at play, he would perform various sadhanas and create materials used in dharma ceremonies. At the age of six, his father taught him reading and writing, which he learned without any difficulty and within a very short time, he was reading Milarepa’s One Hundred Thousand Songs. [more...]
