Saṃvarodaya Tantra (Wyl. sdom 'byung gi rgyud) or Tantra of the Emergence of Chakrasamvara was requested and compiled by Vajrapani. Dudjom Rinpoche notes that it is a source of teachings on the crafts of constructing representations of enlightened body, speech and mind.[1] It is often cited as the source of the famous quotation:
- བླ་མ་སངས་རྒྱས་བླ་མ་ཆོས། །
- དེ་བཞིན་བླ་མ་དགེ་འདུན་ཏེ། །
- ཀུན་གྱི་བྱེད་པོ་བླ་མ་ཡིན། །
- བླ་མ་དཔལ་ལྡན་རྡོ་རྗེ་འཆང་། །
- The guru is the Buddha,
- The guru is the Dharma,
- Likewise the guru is the Sangha too
- The creator of everything is the guru
- The guru is the glorious Vajradhara [or heruka].
Yet in fact only the first two lines (of the Tibetan) are to be found in the tantra.
