Gurus |
In Vajrayana Buddhism, Gurus are of paramount importance. In fact, it is due to Gurus starting from the time of the Buddha Shakyamuni right upto present time, that the entire lineages of dharma teachings are being preserved and practiced. In the Theravada tradition Shakyamuni Buddha is also called Shasta i.e. the Guru of all devas and men. But in the Vajrayana tradition,
Gurus like Padmasambhava, Tilopa, Naropa, Marpa, Milarepa, Tsong Khapa, Virupa and many others are also considered to be the representives of the enlightenment which Buddha Shakyamuni realized. Later on in the Vajrayana tradition also, the images of the Gurus were used to visualize to actualize the mind of Buddha.
Some Gurus are also considered to be the emanated bodies i.e. reincarnated Nirmanakaya of some Buddhas and Bodhisattvas like Amitabha, Manjusree or Avalokiteshvara.
