(Redirected from Mañjushrimitra)
Manjushrimitra (Skt. Mañjuśrīmitra; T. ‘jam dpal bshes gnyen འཇམ་དཔལ་བཤེས་གཉེན་). An early Indian master of the Dzogchen lineage. He was the main disciple of Garab Dorje and the main teacher of Shri Singha.
He is known for arranging the Dzogchen teachings into three classes: the mind class (semdé), space class (longdé), and instruction class (mengakdé).
His last testament, which he conferred upon Shri Singha before passing into the rainbow body, is called the Six Experiences of Meditation.
Other texts by Manjushrimitra include:
- rdo la gser zhun ("Gold Refined from Ore")
