Lama Atisha Lama Atisha (982 - 1054) was born as a prince in Bengal, in eastern India. Became the most learned scholar of Nalanda Monastery in India, the largest university of Buddhist philosophy at the time.
Because of his great compassion for the people of Tibet, Lama Atisha went to Tibet in 1042 to renew Buddhism by sending an unbroken lineage of teachings of Buddha to Tibetan people.
He contemplated the three wheels of Dharma in a logical order, outlining with linear arrangement and gradual. This yields, therefore, understandable and workable by anyone wishing to follow the path of the Buddha, regardless of their level of development.
The great Indian master Atisha addition to his teaching of the Buddha, brought with him still living in Tibet the oral traditions relating to the teachings of his own distinguished lineage of spiritual teachers on both the method and wisdom, passed down through Asanga, Nagarjuna and many other great Indian scholars.
The Alchemy of Atisha Atisha
is a rare master, rare because it received the teaching of three enlightened masters. It had never happened before, and none has been repeated. To be a disciple of three enlightened masters is simply incredible, simply because an enlightened master. But this story - that the teachers had three lights - also has a metaphorical meaning. While it is true, that is is a historical fact.
The first of the three teachers they Atisha remained for many years was Dharmakirti, a great Buddhist mystic. They taught him no mind , taught him the void, taught him how to have a mind devoid of thoughts, taught him how to detach itself from any contents of the mind and be devoid of content. The second teacher was Dharmarakshita, another Buddhist mystic. They taught him love, compassion . It was the third master Yogin Maitreya, another Buddhist mystic. They taught him the art of suffering to accept and absorb Trui in his heart: love work.
Because he had learned from three enlightened masters, he is called Atisha, who is three times as large. He was born in India, but when his love became active, began to move to Tibet, as I was attracted by a powerful magnet.
