The legacy of Vajrapani
In the 11th century, the three great Henu Kasra Vajrayogini lineages from the great Indian achievers, Ruyipa, Kanha and Guntapada, entered Tibet and became part of the religious revival of Tibet, and a new school of translation was born. Among them, the heritage of Guntapada is also known as the "Five Mandalas of Guntapada Shengle". This lineage was later modified by the Indian guru Tilopa based on his own visualization experience. After this, Tilopa granted this lineage to Naropa, who in turn passed it on to his Tibetan disciple Marpa Translator. The "Five Mandalas of Guntapada Kagyu" is the main "Mantra Master Practice" used by most of the Karma Kagyu schools and most of its 11 branches during the second and half months of the traditional three-year retreat. The objects of his visualization are the Katsura Vajrayogini and the Red Vajrapani, who are now in the form of double fortune. To this day, this tantric tradition is still passed down in Tibet and is popular.
