Preface

This project was compiled in anticipation of two upcoming events. First is the year-longteaching and translation project The King of Tantras: The Generation and Completion Stages ofthe Guhyasamaja Tantra Based on a Commentary by Aku Sherab Gyatso being given at InstitutoLama Tzong Khapa, Pomania, Italy by Geshe Jampa Gyatso. Secondly, and synchronisticly isthe Guhyasamaja Initiation and teachings to be given in 2004 by Denma Locho Rinpoche whichwere arranged by Kyabje Gelek Rinpoche of Jewel Heart Tibetan Buddhist Center.

Not having a grasp of Sanskrit or Tibetan, these materials knowingly contain errors andomissions (e.g., diacritical marks) that are solely reflective of my ignorance and laziness. Maythis text nevertheless be of some use to others.

Introduction

According to A-myes, the Guhyasamaja Tantra is the only tantra taught by ShakyamuniBuddha in his lifetime (Wedemeyer, 1999). All subsequent tantras (such as Yamantaka,Chakrasamvara, Hevajra, etc.) were only revealed later, after Buddha’s parinirvana. Accordingto Wedemeyer (1999, p.81) ‘Gos Lotsawa recounts in his text Blue Annals, that the actualtransmission of the Arya tradition is as follows: King Indrabhuti of Oddiyana requested andreceived the teachings from the historical Buddha. The lineage is said to have continued througha dakini that descended from the realm of the Nagas, to King Visukkalpa, and eventually passingon to Saraha and then Nagarjuna, and to his four disciples Sakyamitra, Aryadeva, Nagabodhi,and Candrakirti.

There are seven traditions of the Guhyasamaja according to A-myes: Arya, Jnanapada,Santipa, Lalitavajra, Smrti[jnanakirti], a hybrid Kalacakra/Guhyasamaja, and Anandagarbha(Wedemeyer, 1999). The Arya and Jnanapada schools are the most prominent, with the Aryatradition predating the Jnanapada school. Wedemeyer indicates that Nagarjuna, Aryadeva,Nagabodhi, Candrakirti and Sakyamitra represent the former while Nagarjuna, Jnanapada,Dipamkarabhadra, Prasantarnitra, Rahulabhadra, and Vajramahasukha represent the latter.

In the Arya tradition, Akshobya is the central deity and the mandala has 32 deities in all. Inmany of the other traditions the central deity is Manjusrivajra and the mandala may contain asfew as 9 deities. The latter form, as typified by the Jnanapada tradition, was said to be revealedby Manjushri (Wedemeyer, 1999). The reader is referred to the works of Wayman (1977) andWedemeyer (1999) for a more detailed account of the Guhyasamaja literature and history.
