Chingkar Donyö Dorje; Meaningful Vajra Clad in White Felt. (RY)

18-19th cent. - Chingkar Donyö Dorje. (RY)

Chingkar Donyö Dorje, or, "Meaningful Vajra Clad in White Felt". Compassionate teachers like Patrul Rinpoche and Shechen Gyaltsap Pema Namgyal, who emphasized the practice of Bodhichitta, abstained from wearing or using animal furs and skins, and preferred using white felt for their coats and carpets.

"Crazy Tekya" (rtas skya smyon pa) is another name for Donyö Dorje: rtas skya is written in a mystic dakini script and has no ordinary intelligible meaning.
