But I know Ratnamati/Baoyi (寶意), Ratnakara/Baoshang (寶上) kumara are the earliest. 」

「Adharma Buddha is Adi Buddha or Samantabhadra, he transmitted the mahamudra to Ratnamatikumara and Ratnakarakumara to further promote continuously, therefore Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism is originated from Padmakumara.」

「The first patriarch, Adharma Buddha (阿達爾瑪佛), transmitted the 【The Nine Stages Dharma of the Great Perfection (Dzogchen) (大圓滿九次第法)】 to Vajrapani Bodhisattva (金剛手菩薩) then transmitted to a Son of Heaven Sheng Xin (勝心天子), Sheng Xin reincarnated as Prince Prahevajra (極喜金剛) and transmitted the dharma to Manjushrimitra (妙吉祥友) (There are first Manjushrimitra and second Manjushrimitra), after Manjushrimitra deceased and reincarnated as the second Manjushrimitra and reincarnated from lotus, therefore the patriarch of【The Nine Stages Dharma of the Great Perfection 】is Padmakumara. The dharma is then transmitted to Padmasambhava (蓮華生大士), he reincarnated from lotus, is Padmakumara, therefore it is being passed on from Padmakumara to Padmakumara……..」

「Western Pure Land Paradise...... we are leaded by Aimitabha to lotus to cultivate till it blossom and behold budhha, which is also reincarnate from lotus. Therefore almost all of the Western Pure Land Paradise is Padmakumara. 」

「In the past Yamantaka King sit by the lake to meditate, Ratnamati and Ratnakara Kumara lead Yamantaka to Golden Buddha Land, and the former life of Yamantaka is Sakyamuni Buddha. Therefore Padmakuramara is the mentor of Sakyamuni Buddha. 」

「Dunhuang 314 cave has Padmakumara, according to the locals, there are lots of Padmakumara. Sakyamuni, Padmakumara and The Jade Pong Golden Mother are abreast of each other, the status of Padmakumara is very high. The first Buddha of Padmakumara is the first Buddha appeared in The High King Avalokitesvara Sutra is ~Pure Light Secret Buddha, will have very purified light, also named as 【Pure Light Padmakumara Secret Buddha】. Why secret?  Because wants to be spoken out by Grand Master in the future. 」

「Padmakumara at the Arupyadhatu Realm (Realm of void / immateriality / space) are actually the same as Padmakumara at Human Realm. If you really understand the dharma of Prajna (wisdom), everything is the same and there aren’t any differences. No difference and no comparison, regardless how is Padmakurama or how is Adi Buddha?! Actually there is no difference between understand the mind and seeing the disposition.」

「Padmakurama lineage does not have a starting point nor an ending point, we will always be Padmakumara. Buddha Pure Land is transformed from lotus.
Everybody at Western Pure Land Paradise is Padmakumara, you no longer need to go to Western Pure Land if you do not believe in Padmakurama. You behold which Buddha is not standing on a lotus. 」

When recalling the past scene of meeting Padmakumara, Grand Master said: 「You cannot see Padmakumara clearly.  When I first saw Padmakumara, the person next to me said this is Padmakumara, but it is all formless light. I still have a profound impression of it till today. 」

Grand Master has again encouraged the disciples to practice diligently to attain Padmakumara: 「Anyone is able to practice our Root Guru Padmakumara Yoga, anyone can achieve succession. Padmakumara live together peacefully and respect each other. The Padmakumara who attain succession will respect all Padmakumara. Padmakumara are very real and pure. Grand Master still maintain the Padmakumara heart as childlike innocent until today. 」Grand Master consecration the Padmakumara figure enshrined and also transmits the enpowernment of Padmakumara Yoga, London Temple is extremely crowded currently and everyone is entering the temple to receive the empowerment transmission from Grand Master, all is auspicious.
