It is widely believed that Padampa Sangye was an incarnation of the 8th century monk Kamalashîla, one of the early teachers of the Dharma in Tibet.</P><P><FONT face="Times New Roman">When the Indian sage Padampa Sangye arrived in Tibet, he found the people in the area of Tingri, which is on the Tibetan side of Mt. Everest, to be especially amenable to his instruction. He therefore settled in Tingri and established a monastery. </FONT></P><P>The following text was translated from Tibetan by John Canti of the Padmakara Translation Group, and may be found along with detailed commentary by the late Dilgo Khyentse in:</P><BLOCKQUOTE><P>Dilgo Khyentse, The Hundred Verses of Advice of Padampa Sangye<BR> Translated by Padmakara Translation Group. <BR> Published by Shechen Publications, New Delhi, 2002.<BR> ISBN 81-7472-088-1</P></BLOCKQUOTE><HR><P align=left><B> Preface </B></P><P><I>Homage to the teacher!<BR>Fortunate practitioners gathered here in Tingri, listen!</I></P><P><I>Just as worn-out clothes can never again be made as new, <BR>It's no use seeing a doctor once you're terminally ill; <BR>You'll have to go.
