Hi Kent,

as you might have noticed, I moved 'jigs med grags pa, who is noone else but "Phamtingpa" to Naropa's students. TBRC wrongly lists him as one of Naropa's teachers (already the dates given there make that obvious). He was one of his Newar disciples who lived in Pharping, near Kathmandu. He was one of the first masters whom Marpa met on his first trip south. Phamtingpa then strongly advised him to go to India and meet his own guru Naropa...


Best, TSD


Interesting, as http://www.tbrc.org/cgi-bin/tbrcdatx?do=so&resource=P3085 shows 'jigs med grags pa as a teacher of Naropa. I'm not sure which of the two brothers (of the four) this actually is, myself... Maybe someone should also contact TBRC and ask them to correct their entry. Kent 03:53, 13 September 2006 (EDT)
