Tharchin Rinpoche [thar-chihn rihn-poh-shay]
Tharchin Rinpoche,
of the Nyingma Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
Nyingma means the lineage of Scribes, of the writers, guardians of the treasures.
'Treasures' represents the collection of 'Jewels' that represent Enlightenment. In Buddhism to achieve Enlightenment takes clarity of mind, as clear as an exquisite jewel, thus, the Jewel is the symbol of Wisdom and Enlightenment.
he says,
" The Guides teach beings according to their needs; wherever any can be taught, they manifest a supreme incarnation. The bodies of the Buddhas and the world's beings are all without self: realizing this, bodhisattvas attain true awakening and explain it to others". (The Flower Ornament Scripture, by Tharchin Rinpoche.)
Meaning of the "Triple Jewel"
Kon Chog Cho Tso = "Triple-Jewel Dharma-Lake" (Tibetan)
'Triple Jewel'= "the Teachings, the Teacher, & the Students ... of Enlightenment (Buddhism)".
The ultimate knowledge is achieved through the Triad of Three, the balance that perpetuates the truth, and the wisdom inherent,
Always a teacher that's always learning, thus always the student too, emanating the sacred truth that brings wisdom to the mind. Teacher and student keep passing on and preserving true wisdom, perpetuating evolution!
As they say, in Ancient Sanskrit.
'Mani': "Jewel" (wisdom) + 'Padme': "Lotus" (truth)
Jewel in the Lotus
Wisdom is in the Truth
(Clear Jewel symbolizes Vision from Clarity of the Mind...
'Padme' is the "Lotus" that represents "Truth"
(Wisdom is found in the Truth).
