  • Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/Deity Mantra and Wisdom/Glossary  + (rig 'dzin;Knowledge Holder;knowledge holde … rig 'dzin;Knowledge Holder;knowledge holder;In this term, "knowledge" refers to deity, mantra, and the wisdom of great bliss. One who "holds" these three, then, with profound and skillful means is a "knowledge holder." [TD 2683] In the ''Chariot to Omniscience'', Jigme Lingpa points out that there are many different approaches to classifying these levels of realization. Explaining the approach advocated by Longchenpa, he writes. "The approach taken by the great Omniscient One is to link the four knowledge holders with the five paths. By stabilizing one's practice of the development stage, the mind itself matures into a divine form. Nevertheless, at this stage one does not engage the immediate cause and: hence, is unable to refine the impure elements. Such individuals are on the paths of accumulation and joining, which are associated with the matured knowledge holder." <br>Addressing the second and third levels, he continues, "If the physical body, the maturation [of past karma], is destroyed before they attain the supreme state on the path of joining, the practitioner will attain the great seal in the intermediate state, without having to take rebirth. The rationale is that the mind will have already matured into the form of the deity, the illusory empty form. Hence, as soon as the matured body is cast away, one will immediately attain the bodhisattva's path of seeing. On the other hand, if one reaches the supreme state with [the ordinary body] as one's basis, one will, as is said, 'attain the level of the supreme knowledge holder with power over longevity.' Said differently, the physical body itself, the support, will transform into a clear, vajralike body." [YT 418] <br>It should be noted that there are different presentations of the relationship between the four knowledge holders and the five paths. Dudjom Rinpoche, for example, places all four levels of knowledge holder on the transcendent paths, the path of seeing, the path of cultivation, and the path beyond training. [NS 281]<br>According to Khenpo Yönga, this is also the approach taken by the masters of the Zur clan, the famed Nyingma lineage that flourished in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. He explains, "The textual lineage of the Zur clan places the four knowledge holders on the three paths of seeing, cultivation, and liberation, encompassing the ten levels upon which the noble ones train. The first two knowledge holders relate to the path of seeing. At this stage true reality is seen, but the flame of wisdom is, as of yet, unable to purify the matured body. This is the 'matured knowledge holder.' When this capacity is in place, the body transforms into a clear form, free from birth and death, which is the 'knowledge holder with power over longevity.' 'The knowledge holder of the great seal' applies to the path of cultivation and the spontaneously present knowledge holder to the state of liberation.' Concluding, Khenpo Yönga writes, "These two approaches come to the same point, however. The difference is only in terms of the point at which certain ''labels'' are applied, in this case that being whether or not the label 'matured knowledge holder' applies to the paths of accumulation and joining." [NO 419] applies to the paths of accumulation and joining." [NO 419])
