• Tsenshab, Kirti  + (Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche was born in the pr … Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche was born in the province of Amdo – eastern Tibet – in 1926, and at age six was recognized as the reincarnation of the former abbot of the Kirti Gompa. At the age of nine, He was ordained as a monk. Rinpoche received teachings from many high Lamas of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Lama Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche is one of the holders of the tantra of Kalachakra lineage, having received that empowerment when he was 14 years old. At the age of 32 and having completed his monastic studies he was appointed as the Abbot of Kirti.</br>After escaping from Tíbet in 1959, Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche taught Tibetan orphans at the Tibetan Children’s Village, Dharamsala, India. At the age of 45 he began a fifteen-year meditation retreat in a small stone hermitage above Dharamsala, “big enough for a bed, prostrations, and a stove”. He spent seven years in meditation on Lam Rim, three years on “Seven Point Thought Transformation”, and some generation and completion stage tantra. Two years were spent only on generation and completion stages and in the final 3 years, Rinpoche repeated all of the above. Rinpoche has given Kalachakra commentary to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and is a teacher of Lama Zopa Rinpoche. Lama Zopa Rinpoche has said of Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche, “He is a great Kadampa master who shows real Kadampa Tradition…so completely renounced. There’s not one slightest worldly activity, not the slightest eight worldly dharmas, no self cherishing thought. Even talking, everything is as much as possible pleasing to sentient being’s minds.” [https://fpmt.org/teachers/lineage-lamas/kirtitsenshab/kirtitsenshab_bio/ Source]s/kirtitsenshab/kirtitsenshab_bio/ Source])

Scholars attribute to him with certainty only two works: the Dashakumaracharita, translated in 2005 by Isabelle Onians as What Ten Young Men Did, and the Kavyadarsha (“The Mirror of Poetry”).</br></br>The Dashakumaracharita is a coming-of-age narrative that relates stories of each of the 10 princes in their pursuit of love and their desire to reunite with their friends. The work is imbued both with realistic portrayals of human vice and with supernatural magic, including the intervention of deities in human affairs.</br></br>The Kavyadarsha is a work of literary criticism defining the ideals of style and sentiment appropriate to each genre of kavya (courtly poetry). It was a highly influential work and was translated into several languages, including Tibetan. Sanskrit scholar Sheldon Pollock wrote in this regard that “Dandin’s…[work] can safely be adjudged the most important work on literary theory and practice in Asian history, and, in world history, a close second to Aristotle’s Poetics.” </br>([http://www.britannica.com/biography/Dandin Source: Encylopedia Britannica])hy/Dandin Source: Encylopedia Britannica]))
• Virūpa  + ((bir wa pa), one of the Eighty-four Mahasi … (bir wa pa), one of the Eighty-four Mahasiddhas of India, was born into a royal family one thousand and twenty years after Lord Buddha entered parinirvana. He took novice monk vows and entered the Nalanda monastery, of which he became abbot later. He perfected his disciples of study and meditation. However, after seventy years of one-pointed tantric practice he had not attained any siddhis of any kind, and actually negative events were happening in his life. He decided he had no connection with the tantric teachings, Vajrayana, and with this state of mind he threw his rosary into the toilet and stopped doing Deity Meditations.</br></br>However, the same night Nairatmya manifested for him, and said:</br>:Noble son, do not act in this way. Pick up your rosary, clean it, and take up your practice again. I am the deity which whom you have a karmic connection to, and I will bestow my blessings upon you".</br></br></br>The following evening Nairatmya appeared to him again in her own mandala of fifteen goddesses, and she bestowed upon him the four specific empowerments, and he reached the first bodhisattva bhumi level including the Path of Seeing. On the evening of the twenty-ninth day he became a bodhisattva of the sixth bhumi. The monastic community at Nalanda monastery knew that something strange happened, but they were dubious about the strange behavior of Virupa, and he left the monastery.
