Gendun Drub founded Tashi Lhunpo monastery at Shigatse. His work was continued by Gendun Drub, followed by Sönam Gyatso, who received from the Mongol emperor Altan Khan the title "Dde Lama" (ta la'i bla ma), or Dalai Lama, signifying "ocean" with reference to his wisdom. The title was applied retroactively to his two predecessors. A grandson of Altan Khan, Yönten Gyatso, was the fourth Dalai Lama. His successor, Lobsang Gyatso (1617-1682), known as the Great Fifth, relied on his Mongol allies to emerge victorious in power struggles between provinces and Tibetan schools. They established him as the supreme authority of all Tibet, of which he was in great part the unifier and organizer. It was he who had the Potala palace built at Lhasa. The lineage of Dalai Lamas has continued without interruption up to the present fourteenth holder of the title: His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso, born in July 1935. The Dalai Lamas are emanations of Chenrezig, the buddha of compassion, who is the patron and protector of Tibet. who is the patron and protector of Tibet.)

Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Hevajra Tantra I/Glossary + (tantra;Literally the 'warp' of woven fabri … tantra;Literally the 'warp' of woven fabric, the term tantra refers to a clearly definable type of ritual text common to both Hindu and Buddhist tradition, concerned with the evoking of divinities and the gaining of various kinds of siddhi by means of mantra, dhyāna, mudrā and maṇḍala. K glosses the term with prabandha, 'connected discourse' and defines our work under three aspects: as a hetu-tantra ('cause-tantra'), members of the vajra-family being the cause;as a phala-tantra ('result-tantra'), the perfected form of Hevajra being the result;as an upāya-tantra ('means-tantra'), the way which it teaches being the means (vol. II, p. 105). The Hevajra-tantra is in fact a yoginī-tantra as distinguished from a yoga-tantra (see p. İ32 above, also Buddhist Himalaya, p. 203). According to another mode of grouping, it is classed as an anuttarayoga- tantra, a 'tantra of supreme yoga', for it is the means to the highest form of siddhi.1 Five classes of tantras are mentioned by K: kriyā, caryā, yoga, yogottara and yoganiruttara (vol. II, p. 156), but the number was traditionally fixed at four (for everything goes in fours) and it was in four such groups that the Tibetans later arranged their impressive collection. As grades they are associated, probably quite artificially, with the four consecrations (abhiṣeka) and typified by the four gestures of the 'smile', &c. kriyā-tantra Master Consecration smile caryā-tantra Secret Consecration gaze yoga-tantra Knowledge of Prajñā embrace anuttarayoga-tantra Fourth Consecration union 'In some kriyā-tantras the smile indicates the impassioning of the Wis- dom and Means of the divinities, by which symbolizing (visuddhi, q.v.) the Master Consecration is indicated;in some caryā-tantras the mutual gaze indicates their impassioning, by which symbolizing the Secret Consecration is indicated;in some yoga-tantras the embrace indicates their impassioning, by which symbolizing the Consecration in Know- ledge of Prajñā is indicated;in some anuttarayoga-tantras the union indicates their impassioning, by which symbolizing the Fourth Con- secration is indicated' (K, vol. II, p. 142). K also refers to the universally authoritative nature (sarvādhikāritvam) of this Hevajra-tantra which is authoritative in that it is yoginĩ-niruttara in kind (loc. cit.). It is suitable for women as well as men of all three grades: weak, medium, and strong sensibility (vol. II, p. 126). See the references to these grades under abhiṣeka. sensibility (vol. II, p. 126).

Vajrayana is divided into four levels of tantra: Action (Kriya Tantra);Performance (Charya Tantra);Union (Yoga Tantra);and Highest Union or Highest Yoga Tantra (Anuttara-yoga Tantra). Tantra works on simultaneously transforming the three aspects of one's ordinary body, speech, and mind into the transcendent body, speech, and mind of a Buddha, through mudra, mantra, and visualization. :Because of its many skillful methods of practice, tantric Buddhism is often called "the short path" to enlightenment. It is possible to attain complete Buddhahood in one lifetime through tantra, as compared to the many aeons of effort required through Hinayana and the sutra level Mahayana practice. The different tantric Buddhist lineages are based on which tantras one has studied, and with which teachers one learned. :Tibetan medicine and astrology are also presented in scriptures called tantras.
