Searching for the Lotus-Born Master (Ⅴ)

According to legend, the king of Zahor was very angry to find Padmasambhava was with the princess as it broke the rules of the kingdom that were very strict pertaining to nuns. He ordered the princess to be put into jail. We found the jail. It is still there in the old section of a city called Mandi, which was once the capital of the kingdom of Zahor. Today, the shrine is a Shakti temple, worshiped by both Buddhists and Hindus.

根据传说，扎霍国王发现曼达拉娃公主与莲花生大士在一起时，非常愤怒，因为这违反了对于尼姑的严苛国家法律。于是国王下令将公主关进了监狱。我们找到了监狱，位于一个称为曼迪的城市旧区，那里曾经是扎霍王国的首都。今天，神坛是一个沙克提神庙，受到佛教徒和印度教徒的膜拜。

The king then ordered his ministers to burn Padmasambhava alive at the stick for breaking the rules of the kingdom. Amazingly, rain put the fire out and Padmasambhava was unharmed, floating on the lake upon a lotus. This amazed everyone, especially the king, who upon realizing that Padmasambhava was the great Guru, supplicated himself before the Guru, and offered him his entire kingdom. Padmasambhava did not want the kingdom. He wanted the princess to his partner practicing consort yoga to achieve a spectrum of light energy fields that would come to be known as the rainbow body.

国王后来命令大臣要活活烧死莲花生大士，因为他违反了国法。令人诧异的是，雨水将火浇灭，莲师浮于湖泊的莲花之上，并没有受到伤害。这让每个人都感到惊奇，尤其是国王，他意识到莲花生大士是伟大的上师并向他作祈请，并将整个王国供奉给莲师。但莲师并不要他的王国，只想要曼达拉娃公主成为他的双运瑜伽法侣，以成就光蕴能量场，即“虹光身”。
