Tsasum Lingpa was born in Kham in eastern Tibet near the pilgrimage mountain of Jowo Zegyal."

28

"harelip was the identifiable trait ... of the Tsen family of mountain spirits, one of the tribes of the invisible world." Members of this family are "red".

29

"Tsasum Lingpa had a dream in which a wrathful black lady appeared. ... On the third night ..., ... she

30

said, "... the teaching is about me! You must receive that teaching.""

31

"One day while he was alone, he ... saw a ... cloud in the southwest. ... That night Guru Padmasambhava and the wisdom dakini Yeshe Tsogyal, along with many dakas and dakinis, appeared to Tsasum Lingpa in a dream. ...

32

Guru Padmasambhava and Yeshe Tsogyal ... in this dream ... took him by the hand and pointed to a large storehouse filled with countless jewels and precious objects and said, "... choose one!" A lady appeared (who was actually a dakini), and they told him, "She will be your companion. ... Today you must select the terma keys you would like from among these treasures." ... Tsasum Lingpa and the lady in the dream went into the storehouse, and he took a blue key made of sapphire. She told him to take another one, and he took a red key made of ruby. The lady took a white key made of silver. ...

"Padmasambhava said, "... near the right side of the glacier mountain of Jowo Zegyal there is a mountain called Ahmye Mutri [Aa-mye Mu-khri], ... you will find special instructions about that ruby key you took ... . ... after you reveal this, you must travel far and wide, don’t stay in one place." ...

34

Yeshe Tsogyal said, "Now ... we will return to Udiyana ... ." ... She and another dakini then flew up in the sky, and then Tsasum Lingpa woke up."

"After that experience, he dressed up in a strange fashion; he pulled his long skirt {kilt} above his knees and put on a fox hat. He carried a thighbone trumpet and a long sword".

He met a 16-year-old woman who said, "I am an emanation of the O:ser Chang, and I’m planning to go to Pema Ko:." [p. 195, n. 42 : "Pema Ko: (padma bkod) is the "hidden land" at the confluence of the Tsangpo and Brahmaputra rivers in Tibet, north of the border with Assam".]

36

On mt. Ahmye Mutri, "Suddenly, Tsasum Lingpa saw a large man with blue-black skin and a lion face that filled the sky standing right in his path. He knew that this must be the Zhing Kyong Dharmapala ... . At that moment, the dharmapala picked up Tsasum Lingpa, put him on the back of his horse, and took him for a brief ride in the air. ... [At their destination,] Tsasum Lingpa ... saw a fierce woman with a lion[ess] face whose long, fiery red hair filled the sky. The was the female dharmapala Singha Rama. From every pore of her body, red blood was sizzling, and in her hand she held a khatvanga. It looked as though she was [were] eating a whole human body ... . When he woke {false awakening}, fire was burning everywhere, and there were so many

37

corpses on the ground that he couldn’t go on the ground that he couldn’t go on, he couldn’t even walk. ... the female dharmapala ... opened a door in that rocky mountain, ... and then lifted him up and pulled him inside. There he saw so many jewels, and from them she picked up one small locket shaped like a sealed vase, made of dark blue semiprecious stone [p. 195, n. 45 : "mu men, lapis lazuli"]. ...

38

When he listened carefully, he could hear the sound of bees humming and also some beautiful music coming from the locket." "He also became famous as an expert on ... the ability to control the channels and wind energy in the body. For example, he could use his wind energy to travel great distances in a very short time ... going to the pure land of Guru Padmasambhava, the Glorious Copper-Colored Mountain, and he stayed there for more than a month."

39

"in Lhasa, Tsasum Lingpa had a vision of a magnificent red dharmapala who was wearing armor and a helmet, and carrying a shield, a spear, and a sword. He was riding a large red horse in the midst of his retinue of seventeen servants."

40

"The next morning, ... he saw a white light, stretching out like a white scarf from a mountain in the Drikung area to where he was. In the midst of the white lightthe wisdom dakini and dharmapala Achi Ch:dro:m appeared, riding a mule. ... She told me, "Ride behind me on the mule, and keep your eyes closed until I tell you to open them.""

41

Having arrived at a mountain via the dakini’s flying mule, "Tsasum Lingpa climbed the rock mountain ... . There he found a dark red locket that had insects crawling on it (the presence of insects was a sign that it was almost too late to retrieve the teachings). Inside the locket were yellow scrolls containing the Vajrakilaya teachings. Along with the locket, he discovered a meteoric iron vajra ... . When he pulled out these things, he looked around and saw the sky was filled with rainbow light, and celestial music was playing. ... As Tsasum Lingpa looked around, he saw many doors cut into the rock, which were opening and closing. He could see many statues and terma teachings and other things behind the doors. But as soon as he tried to get those things, the doors would close."

His upper garment is made of an elephant skin; at his waist, he wears a human skin; and his skirt {kilt} is made of a tiger skin. ...

Finally, five-colored light again radiates from his heart center and enters your heart center."
