VENERABLE GESHE KELSANG GYASO RINPOCHE
Atiśa Dīpaṃkara Śrījñāna was said to have been born the second son of a royal house in eastern India, given the name Candragarbha at birth. His father was Kalyana the Good and his mother Prabhavati the Radiant. After experiencing a vision of Tārā at the age of eleven, on the eve of his marriage, he entered a religious path, initially practicing Hevajra in the company of tantrikas.
Atiśa was said to have studied with a number of the Indian Mahāsiddhas, including Jetari, Kāṇha, Avadhūtīpa, Ḍombipa, and Nāropa, and it is reported that he received the bodhisattva vow at Nālandā from Bodhibhadra.
