ANNIVERSARY OF THE PARINIRVANA OF GREAT MASTER JIGME LINGPA

Tashi Delek!! 🌹🌻

Today (3rd day of the 9th Tibetan month) marks the Parinirvana Anniversary of Great Master Jigme Lingpa — an important Dzogchen master and one of the great lineage holders of the Ancient Nyingma tradition. He revealed the Longchen Nyingthig cycle of teachings and “was the great sun of the luminous dharmadhatu teachings.” ❤️

As the time of Jigme Lingpa’s death approached, his close disciples asked if they could be of any assistance at the time of his death. He replied, “I need no help as I am going directly to the Lotus Light. However, you can whisper in my ear and tell me, ‘Now your time has come to go to the Copper-Colored Mountain.’ That is all you need to do.” In 1798, having reached the age of seventy and served the dharma and countless beings, Jigme Lingpa left his body. Amid miraculous signs, he departed for the Lotus Light of Chamara, the Copper-Colored Mountain (Zangdog Palri; zangs mdog dpal ri), the pure realm of Guru Padmasambhava. And so Jigme Lingpa passed beyond all sorrow into enlightenment, leaving the precious remains of his body at Tsering Jong.
