Talk:Samadhiraja Sutra

Mindstream samaya
"Gampopa (1079 - 1153) was the first monk of the Karma-Kagyu lineage. It is said that Gampopa in his former lives was a disciple of Buddha Kasyapa and Buddha Shakyamuni. In the days of Buddha Shakyamuni his name was Candraprabha Kumara. When the Buddha asked who of his students will teach the Samadhiraja and Candrapradipa-Sutra in the future when times will get harder, Gampopa said that he will do that.

Predition of the Karmapas in the Sutras
I have no copy of the Samadhiraja Sutra, but cannot find Karmapa mentioned in the Lankavatara Sutra translated by Suzuki. In Verse 163-164 is written "After the passing of the Teacher, pray tell me who will be the bearer [of the Mahayana]? O Mahamati, thou shouldst know that there will be one who bears the Dharma, when sometime is past after the Sugata's entrance into Nirvana." But the wuaestion is not answered (in the usual quotations mentioning Karmapa, probably from a tibetan translation this part is followed mentioning the Karmapa. Who knows something about it?
