Garab Dorje
Garab Dorje (dga' rab rdo rje, Skt. Surati Vajra, Prahevajra, Pramoda Vajra). The incarnation of Semlhag Chen, a god who earlier had
been empowered by the buddhas. Immaculately conceived, his mother was
a nun, the daughter of King Uparaja (Dhahenatalo or Indrabhuti) of Uddiyana.
Garab Dorje received all the tantras, scriptures and oral instructions
of Dzogchen from Vajrasattva and Vajrapani in person and became the
first human vidyadhara in the Dzogchen lineage. Garab Dorje means 'Indestructible joy.'
