In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Chengawa is the name of an ancient teacher belonging to the “lineage of the blessing of practice”, according to “the succession of Gurus in the Mahāmudrā lineages” in the Kagyü School of Tibetan Buddhism (the Mahāmudrā deals with the nature of the mind).—The graduated path of the three levels of beings, which is an adornment [for the Mahāmudrā], is of three lineages: 1. The lineage of vast conduct; 2. The lineage of the profound view; 3. The lineage of the blessing of practice.—[The lineage of vast conduct]—(1) Vajradhara, (2) Tilopa, (3) Nāropa, (4) Ḍombipa, and (5) Atiśa. From Atiśa a union of all three lineages was transmitted successively to (1) Geshé Tönpa [Dromtönpa], (2) Chengawa, (3) Jayülpa, and (4) Gampopa. [...]
Chengawa (spyan snga) (=Chengawa Tsultrim Bar) (spyan snga tshul khrims 'bar) (1033-1103) refers to one of the Three Main Students of Dromtönpa.—Chengawa Tsultrim Bar was the main holder of Dromtönpa's lineage of teachings on emptiness, practice advice (gdams ngag) and Tantra.
