1 Garab Dorje .. 3 Shri Singha .. 4 Jnanasutra .. 5 Vimalamitra .. Vairocana

Born in a Brahmin family to the West of Bodhigaya, Manjushrimitra became learned in the arts and sciences. He received a prophecy from Manjushri: If he sought enlightenment, he should go to the Sitavana cremation ground near Bodhigaya. There he met Garab Dorje and during their seventy five years together, he received the entire Dzogchen transmission. After Garab Dorje's parinirvana, he divided the sixty-four hundred thousand Dzogchen verses into three series -

and the latter into oral and explanatory sections.

He hid the main text of the oral section in a rock to the east of Bodhigaya and sealed it with the sign of crossed diamond scepters. He then went to the Sosaling cremation ground to the west of Bodhgaya, where he taught his disciple Shri Singha.

He stayed there in meditation for nine hundred years. He attained the body of light. His quintessential testament to Sri Singha was a jewel casket containing the "Six Meditation Experiences" (Gomnyam Drukpa).
