Vimalamitra

Vimalamitra was one of the most learned monks among the five hundred scholars who lived near Vajrasana, where the Buddha attained enlightenment. In fulfillment of a prophesy which he received from Vajrasattva in a pure vision, he went to China and for twenty years received the teachings of the First Three Categories, the Outer, Inner and Secret Categories of the Great Perfection, from Srisinha and then returned to India. Then, in fulfillment of a prophecy given by a Dakini, Vimalamitra went to Jnanasutra, who was also a disciple of Srisinha. He received the transmission of different levels of teachings and empowerments of the Inner-most Secret Category of Great Perfection, the Elaborate, Non-elaborate, Simple and Utmost Simple empowerments, gradually over an expanse of years from Jnanasutra. Then he perfected the respective realizations of the instructions and empowerments. Like Guru Padmasambhava, Vimalamitra attained the body of "Great Transformation". In that "light body", it is believed, he is still living at Wu-Tai Mountain in China.
