Jigme Lingpa

by Jigme Lingpa
In this brief note, Jigme Lingpa clarifies the meaning of "repayment" ('khor ba) in the context of karmic debts, and identifies the scriptural sources for the water torma practices within the Kangyur, while pointing out that disputes among divergent Tibetan traditions of offering tormas lack a canonical basis.

The main sādhana of White Tārā "Wish-Fulfilling Wheel" as practised in the Longchen Nyingtik is the composition of Jigme Lingpa. Although not included among his revealed treasures, it is part of the Longchen Nyingtik's core text collection. The practice draws on three lineage streams: the long kama lineage of Atiśa's tradition of White Tārā Wish-Fulfilling Wheel; the close terma lineage of Chöjé Lingpa (1682–1720), who revealed a cycle of Tārā instructions from the Red Tomb in Chonggyé; and, most significantly, the extremely close lineage of Jigme Lingpa's direct visionary blessing from Tārā herself.

by Jigme Lingpa
