About the Event
The Seventh Dalai Lama, greatest in the lineage, gave a special transmission of the
Five Dakini lineage to his Mongolian disciple, Changkhya Rolpai Dorje. Changkhya became the guru of the Manchu Mongol emperors Khangsi and Chenlung. The latter -- Chenlung -- was perhaps the greates patron of tantric Buddhism and of Buddhist art and literature in the history of the world, on a par with King Ashoka of India and Songtsen Gampo of Tibet. The workshop will read through the instruction that the Seventh wrote for Changkhya, and that became the basis of the tantric legacy producing 100,000 "buddhas in one lifetime" throughout Central Asia from that time until today.
