General Statement on the “Five Golden Dharma of Niguma”（2）

In The Complete Collection of Budun, Acharya Huiyang stated that Vajrayana has 11 kinds of superiority: “what can be conditioned is skill in the highest conditioned aspects, the highest meditation, the highest wisdom, the highest progress, blessing all disciples, blessing all frustrations, blessing rapidly, rapidly fruits arise, frustrations are discarded, the highest heart, mastering the highest action’s convenience, 11 kinds of superiority in total.” A History of the Secret Religion of Tibet claims that Master Tsongkapa believed Vajrayana had three characteristics: 1-after knowing all principles of life, death and frustration, greed turns into infinite light and is the thought mandala of mantra reciting; 2-wisdom and skill sublime into Yidam’s language mandala; 3-genitalia act as the body mandala which meditation depends on. The three kinds of mandala, body, language and mind are three paths to enter tantra meditation.

The 3^rd generation of Laze Jianggong Living Buddha in Sichuan is the 36^th lineage root guru of the Five Golden Dharma of the Shangpa Kagyu lineage. Before Jianggong Guru, the first seven “Seven Jewel” gurus, except for Vajra Dhara eternally living in Ghanavyuha realm and Niguma whose body has transformed into Dakini kingdom, the other five gurus have flown into the Dakini kingdom of the ten-directions by the flesh body. The later seven “Wheel King Seven Later Jewel” gurus have flown to the twenty-four realms of Chakrasambhava in the flesh body. The following 21 gurus showed many spectacular auspicious phenomena when they perfected nirvana. Some flew to Buddha kingdom of the ten-directions in the flesh body, some showed the holy forms of many Buddha and Yidam in their bone relics, and some materialised all kinds of Sheli after Jhpeti (túpí).

According to Shangpa Kagyu, after receiving the empowerment of the Five Golden Dharma, via the blessing strength of guru, Yidam, and Dakini, the 24 nadi of body, word and thought dividing from the eight nadi of the meditators’ heart charka can be linked with rainbow light paths to the 24 Great Dakini Holy Realms of Chakrasambhava. At evening, Dakini from 24 Big Dakini Holy Realms enter the three nadi and five chakra of meditators through the rainbow light paths, helping meditators purify the Qi nadi to achieve as early as possible. When day breaks, the Dakini return to the Dakini pureland where they respectively live. Mediators must recite the Yidam Five Great Vajra mantra at least 108 times each day to ensure that the rainbow light paths in the heart nadi are unbroken.
