The statue of Manjushri,<\/strong> created in Nepal by master artisan Siddhi Raj Shakya, has watched over the reading room of the Dhagpo Kagyu Library since it opened to the public in 2013.<\/a><\/p>\n

This embodiment of awakened wisdom has recently been joined by the personification of awakened compassion in the form of a thangka of Chenrezig<\/strong>. Thus, the two principal aspects of enlightened qualities\u2014wisdom and compassion\u2014are now present together.<\/p>\n

While this thangka serves as a beautiful support for practice and echoes the Chenrezig Curriculum<\/a> established by Lama Jigme Rinpoche in 2018, it also reveals the history of the unbroken transmission of this meditation practice and invites us to reflect on what an authentic transmission of practice truly is.<\/p>\n

The project originated from the wish of its patrons to commission a pictorial representation of the uninterrupted transmission lineages of this practice within the Karma Kagyu lineage.<\/p>\n

Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoche sharing his advice<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Teachings given by Thaye Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, at Kundreul Ling in 2010 were among the inspirations for the thangka. The project was developed in close consultation with Khenpo Ch\u00f6drak Rinpoche, Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoche, and Lama Jigme Rinpoche.<\/p>\n

The thangka was painted in Nepal<\/strong> by Urgen Lama, a disciple of Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoche and heir to a family tradition of artistic transmission from father to son. Once completed, it was consecrated by Shangpa Rinpoche.<\/p>\n

Each figure, depicted with remarkable refinement and distinctive attributes, was the subject of extensive iconographic research. This work led to the creation of a detailed design measuring approximately one meter high by seventy centimeters wide.<\/p>\n

Then, in May 2023, from his monastery, Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoche devoted considerable time to reviewing the thangka project, pen in hand, offering invaluable guidance on the depiction and placing of the masters. The patrons and the painter, Urgen Lama, were present, and the artist then had all the elements necessary to complete this unique work.<\/p>\n

Surrounding Noble Four-Armed Chenrezig are all the lineage masters who not only received these teachings but fully integrated them through practice until they encountered Chenrezig face to face.

The thangka is read<\/strong> <\/span>from top to bottom along three vertical lines.<\/p>\n

At the centre, above Noble Four-Armed Chenrezig (Skt. Avalokite\u015bvara), sits Khasarpani<\/span> (\u0f41\u0f0b\u0f66\u0f62\u0f0b\u0f54\u0f60\u0f0b\u0f4e\u0f72\u0f0b), a form of Chenrezik depicted in the royal ease posture, with his right hand in the gesture of generosity and his left holding a lotus flower. Above him is Amitabha<\/span> Buddha (Tib. \u00d6pame, \u0f60\u0f7c\u0f51\u0f0b\u0f51\u0f54\u0f42\u0f0b\u0f58\u0f7a\u0f51\u0f0b). Beneath this awakened presence sits Songtsen Gampo<\/span> (c. 605\u2013650), the first Buddhist king of Tibet, who is himself regarded as an emanation of Chenrezig.<\/p>\n

The vertical line on the left forms a first transmission lineage<\/strong> while remaining connected to the one on the right. Beneath Buddha Shakyamuni sits the Indian master Atisha<\/span> (982\u20131054), who received teachings directly from his four yidams: Buddha Shakyamuni, Tara, Chenrezig, and Manjushri.<\/p>\n

Atisha, who played a pivotal role in the second dissemination of Buddhism in Tibet, transmitted these teachings to his principal disciple, Naktso Lotsawa<\/span> (1011\u20131064 \u0f42\u0f0b\u0f60\u0f5a\u0f7c\u0f0b\u0f63\u0f7c\u0f0b\u0f59\u0f71\u0f0b\u0f56), when the latter was already advanced in age. Naktso Lotsawa in turn transmitted the teachings to three disciples known as the “Three Brothers,” depicted alongside him from left to right: Puchungwa Sh\u00f6nu Gyaltsen<\/span> (1031\u20131106 \u0f55\u0f74\u0f0b\u0f46\u0f74\u0f44\u0f0b\u0f56\u0f0b\u0f42\u0f5e\u0f7c\u0f53\u0f0b\u0f53\u0f74\u0f0b\u0f62\u0f92\u0fb1\u0f63\u0f0b\u0f58\u0f5a\u0f53\u0f0b), Potowa Rinchen Sal<\/span> (1027\u20131105 \u0f54\u0f7c\u0f0b\u0f4f\u0f7c\u0f0b\u0f56\u0f0b\u0f62\u0f72\u0f53\u0f0b\u0f46\u0f7a\u0f53\u0f0b\u0f42\u0f66\u0f63\u0f0b), and Chenga Ts\u00fcltrim Bar<\/span> (1038\u20131103 \u0f66\u0fa4\u0fb1\u0f53\u0f0b\u0f66\u0f94\u0f0b\u0f5a\u0f74\u0f63\u0f0b\u0f41\u0fb2\u0f72\u0f58\u0f66\u0f0b\u0f60\u0f56\u0f62\u0f0b).<\/p>\n

Below Naktso Lotsawa appear the mahasiddha Mitrayogin<\/span> (dates unknown \u0f58\u0f72\u0f0b\u0f4f\u0fb2\u0f0b\u0f5b\u0f7c\u0f0b\u0f40\u0f72\u0f0b), the Kadampa master Chapa Ch\u00f6ki Sengy\u00e9<\/span> (1109\u20131169 \u0f55\u0fb1\u0fad\u0f0b\u0f54\u0f0b\u0f46\u0f7c\u0f66\u0f0b\u0f40\u0fb1\u0f72\u0f0b\u0f66\u0f7a\u0f44\u0f0b\u0f42\u0f7a\u0f0b), and the Second Karmapa, Karma Pakshi<\/span> (1204\u20131283 \u0f40\u0f62\u0fa8\u0f0b\u0f54\u0f40\u0fb5\u0f72\u0f0b).<\/p>\n

A second transmission lineage<\/strong> unfolds on the right. At its summit is the Medicine Buddha, Sangye Menla<\/span>, and below him Dromt\u00f6n Gyalwa Jungn\u00e9, known as Dromt\u00f6npa<\/span> (1005\u20131064 \u0f60\u0f56\u0fb2\u0f7c\u0f58\u0f0b\u0f66\u0f9f\u0f7c\u0f53\u0f0b\u0f62\u0f92\u0fb1\u0f63\u0f0b\u0f56\u0f60\u0f72\u0f0b\u0f60\u0f56\u0fb1\u0f74\u0f44\u0f0b\u0f42\u0f53\u0f66\u0f0b), Atisha’s lay disciple.<\/p>\n

Dromt\u00f6npa, having contracted leprosy from those afflicted with the disease to whom he taught, is said to have healed himself through the practice of Medicine Buddha. Like Naktso Lotsawa, Dromt\u00f6npa also counted the Three Brothers among his disciples. Their principal disciple was Gampopa S\u00f6nam Rinchen<\/span> (1079\u20131153 \u0f66\u0f92\u0f58\u0f0b\u0f54\u0f7c\u0f0b\u0f54\u0f0b\u0f56\u0f66\u0f7c\u0f51\u0f0b\u0f53\u0f58\u0f66\u0f0b\u0f62\u0f72\u0f53\u0f0b\u0f46\u0f7a\u0f53\u0f0b), who transmitted the teachings to D\u00fcsum Khyenpa<\/span> (1110\u20131193 \u0f51\u0f74\u0f66\u0f0b\u0f42\u0f66\u0f74\u0f58\u0f0b\u0f58\u0f41\u0fb1\u0f7a\u0f53\u0f0b\u0f54\u0f0b), the First Karmapa.<\/p>\n

Finally, Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoche advised that one last figure be included: Karma Chakm\u00e9<\/span> (1613\u20131678 \u0f40\u0f62\u0fa8\u0f0b\u0f46\u0f42\u0f66\u0f0b\u0f58\u0f7a\u0f51\u0f0b), author of the Amitabha Prayer and numerous writings on Chenrezig.<\/p>\n

Let us sit for a moment in the quiet of the reading room, facing this thangka. Let us take the time to rest our gaze on each of the figures depicted.<\/p>\n

Do we know these practitioners? The story of their liberation? Who are they for us, apprentice practitioners of the twenty-first century? A distant, linear hierarchy removed from our reality?<\/p>\n

We often speak of lineage and transmission in our Buddhist lives, but do we truly appreciate the depth of what these words encompass?<\/p>\n

The French word transmettre<\/em> derives from the Latin trans<\/em>, meaning “beyond,” and mittere<\/em>, meaning “to send.” To entrust, to send beyond oneself. Is transmission really a fixed and linear spiritual inheritance, or is it better understood as an ongoing and dynamic process without a true endpoint?<\/p>\n

What inspired such a profound interest in these practitioners that they sought out a teacher, listened to their words, and put them into practice with complete confidence until the teachings became like a second skin? And why, in turn, did they entrust these words, methods, and understandings to others beyond themselves?<\/p>\n

Perhaps taking the time to become familiar with these practitioners of the past can dissolve the distances of time, culture, and geography, and foster a more intimate and living relationship with the practice itself.<\/p>\n

La statue de Manjushri,<\/strong> confectionn\u00e9e par le ma\u00eetre artisan Siddhi Raj Shakya au N\u00e9pal, veille sur la salle de lecture de la biblioth\u00e8que Dhagpo Kagyu depuis son ouverture au public en 2013.<\/a><\/p>

Cette expression de la sagesse de l\u2019\u00e9veil a \u00e9t\u00e9 rejointe depuis peu par la personnification de la compassion \u00e9veill\u00e9e, en la tanka de Chenrezik<\/strong>. Ainsi, les deux aspects des qualit\u00e9s \u00e9veill\u00e9es \u2013 sagesse et compassion \u2013 sont d\u00e9sormais pr\u00e9sents.<\/p>

Si le magnifique support de pratique qu\u2019est cette tanka fait \u00e9cho au cursus Chenrezik<\/a> mis en place par lama Jigm\u00e9 Rinpoch\u00e9 depuis 2018, elle donne aussi \u00e0 voir l\u2019histoire des transmissions ininterrompues de cette pratique m\u00e9ditative et invite \u00e0 se questionner sur ce qu\u2019est une transmission authentique de pratique.<\/p>

Les m\u00e9c\u00e8nes<\/strong> \u00e0 la source de ce projet, ont eu le souhait de faire r\u00e9aliser une repr\u00e9sentation picturale des lign\u00e9es de transmission ininterrompue de cette pratique au sein de la lign\u00e9e karma kagy\u00fc.<\/p>[caption id=\"attachment_340757\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"313\"]\"\" Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoch\u00e9 apportant ses conseils<\/em>[\/caption]

Chaque personnage, repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 avec une extr\u00eame finesse et des attributs sp\u00e9cifiques, a fait l\u2019objet d\u2019une recherche iconographique pouss\u00e9e, afin de produire une maquette d\u2019environ un m\u00e8tre de haut sur soixante-dix centim\u00e8tres de large.<\/p>

Puis, en mai 2023, depuis son monast\u00e8re, Sherab Gyaltsen Rinpoch\u00e9, stylo en main, s\u2019est longuement pench\u00e9 sur le projet de la tanka, apportant de pr\u00e9cieux conseils sur la repr\u00e9sentation des ma\u00eetres et leurs positionnements, en pr\u00e9sence des commanditaires et du peintre Urgen Lama, qui avait d\u00e9sormais tous les \u00e9l\u00e9ments pour r\u00e9aliser cette \u0153uvre unique.<\/p>

\"\"Asseyons-nous un instant, dans le calme de la salle de lecture, face \u00e0 cette tanka. Prenons le temps de laisser le regard se poser sur chacune des figures d\u00e9peintes. Connaissons-nous ces pratiquants ? L\u2019histoire de leur lib\u00e9ration ? Qui sont-ils pour nous, apprentis-pratiquants du XXIe<\/sup> si\u00e8cle ? Une hi\u00e9rarchie verticale et lin\u00e9aire, loin de notre r\u00e9alit\u00e9 ?<\/p>

Il est question de lign\u00e9e et de transmission, termes facilement employ\u00e9s dans notre quotidien bouddhiste : go\u00fbtons-nous vraiment la saveur de ce que ces \u00e9tiquettes recouvrent ?<\/p>

Le terme transmettre en fran\u00e7ais vient du latin trans<\/em> signifiant au-del\u00e0,<\/em> et mittere<\/em> signifiant envoyer<\/em>. Confier, envoyer au-del\u00e0 de soi-m\u00eame\u2026 S\u2019agit-il vraiment d\u2019un h\u00e9ritage spirituel lin\u00e9aire et fig\u00e9 ou davantage d\u2019un processus dynamique sans fin v\u00e9ritable ?<\/p>

Pourquoi un int\u00e9r\u00eat si fort est-il n\u00e9 en ces pratiquants et les a-t-il pouss\u00e9s \u00e0 se rendre aupr\u00e8s d\u2019un enseignant, pour recueillir ses paroles, les mettre en pratique, en toute confiance, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce qu\u2019elles deviennent une seconde peau ? Pourquoi ont-ils, \u00e0 leur tour, confi\u00e9 au-del\u00e0 d\u2019eux-m\u00eames ces paroles, ces m\u00e9thodes, ces compr\u00e9hensions \u00e0 d\u2019autres ?<\/p>

Peut-\u00eatre que prendre le temps de nous familiariser avec ces pratiquants du pass\u00e9 viendra abolir une distance physique, temporelle, culturelle, et apporter une relation encore plus intime et vivante avec la pratique.<\/p>
