Sangye Yeshe of Nub (gnubs
sangs rgyas ye shes)
One
of the twenty-five disciples of
Padmasambhava, he was the chief recipient of the Anu
Yoga teachings as well as the Yamantaka of Mahayoga. In addition
to Guru Rinpoche, his other teachers were Traktung Nagpo and Chogyal
Kyong of India, Vasudhara of Nepal, and Chetsen Kye from the country
of Drusha. He visited India and Nepal seven times. When the evil king
Langdarma attempted to destroy Buddhism in Tibet, Sangye Yeshe instilled
fear in the king by causing an enormous scorpion, the size of nine yaks,
to magically appear by a single gesture of his right hand. Through this,
Langdarma lost the courage to persecute the Vajrayana sangha who dressed
in white robes and kept long hair. Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche is considered
one of his reincarnations. Sangye Yeshe means 'Buddha Wisdom.'
