: Rigpa Shedra: Wiki1) Ѳñśīٰ (मञ्जुश्रीमित्�) (Sanskrit; in Tibetan: 'jam dpal bshes gnyen) refers to one of the early masters of the Dzogchen lineage. He was a disciple of Garab Dorje and the main teacher of Shri Singha. He is famous for arranging the Dzogchen teachings into three classes: the Mind Class (sem de), Space Class (long de), and Pith Instruction Class (mengak de). His last testament, which he conferred upon Shri Singha before passing into the rainbow body, is called the Six Experiences of Meditation.
2) Ѳñśīٰ (मञ्जुश्रीमित्�) is associated with ۲Գٲ첹—one of the deities of the Kagyé cycle (the “eight great sadhana teachings�).—[Cf. Vajradharma, “keeper of secrets”]—When each one of the great Vajra masters who had gathered at Deché Tsekpa (Śaṅkarakūṭa) had received their particular chest, they opened them and extracted their respective teachings. However none of them were able to open the final casket containing the eight sectioned Kagyé Deshek Düpa, so for seven days the Vajra masters [e.g., Ѳñśīٰ] became absorbed together in meditative equipoise, and prayed single-pointedly to the dakinis to assist them. As a result, after the seven days had elapsed, the seal of the last casket sprang free and it opened of its own accord. This is how they were able to extract the teachings of Kagyé Deshek Düpa.

These Eight Awareness-holders bestowed Tantras upon Nyangrel Nyima Özer—an important Nyingma ٱö (a revealer of terma treasure texts in Tibetan Buddhism).—Ѳñśīٰ� is known in Tibetan as 'jam dpal bshes gnyen.
