This is the eleventh article in a series on the lineage holders of the Great Perfection.
The great holder of intrinsic awareness Melong Dorje (Mirror Vajra) was born in the mountainous region of central Tibet. In his early years he had a great fondness for reciting the Prajna Paramita in the short, medium and long forms, especially at funeral ceremonies. After chanting the 8,000-line version one hundred times, he realized the true nature of all things. Hismeditation gave rise to many spiritual experiences and supernormal powers. Hebegan then to wander without any fixed destination or concern for food or dwelling place, practicing austerely while making pilgrimages to many holy places.
When he was eighteen. he met the guru T'hrulzhig Senge-gyab,from whom he received empowerment and Great Perfection teachings. Recognizing Dzogchen to be the greatest spiritual approach, he one-pointedly began the preliminary practices and had a vision of Vajrasattva that remained for six days. During his dreams, gurus of the lineage appeared and blessed him. In his early twenties he was drawn to the treasure teachings, especially those connected with Vajravarahi, which he studied with Sanggye Repa. After praying to Vajravarahi with intense devotion, he met her in a vision. He was also blessed with visions of many other deities and gurus, and Vajrasattva appeared again in a dream, bestowing on him empowerment into the Great Perfection. One day he heard the voice of a dakini. who told him that he had completely purified the karmic habits for rebirth in the six realms.
Melong Dorje studied and served many gurus, and fully integrated his view, meditation and conduct, so that he was totally free of acceptance and rejection; his discipline was pure and he upheld the commitments of the Vajrayana perfectly . Through his mastery of awareness, he was able to fly in the sky and handled rock as if it were dough. Having fully attained all spiritual qualities, he benefited others ceaselessly. It was prophesied that he would die at the age of thirty-seven; however, due to the prayers of Master Kunga he lived until the age of sixty-one, spending his final years in the charnel ground of Labur. At his passing people saw a great light and heard loud sounds fading into the western sky. Above the site of his cremation appeared a dense canopy of rainbows, and the relics found in the ashes indicated his complete realization of the five kayas.
