Vairotsana
This article is about the Tibetan translator. For the primordial Buddha Vairocana, please see Vairocana
Vairotsana (Wylie: ba gor bē ro tsa na ) was a lotsawa or "translator" living during the reign of King Trisong Detsen, who ruled 755-97 CE. Vairotsana, one of the 25 main disciples of Padmasambhava, was recognized by the latter as a reincarnation of an Indian pandita. He was among the first seven monks ordained by Śāntarakṣita, and was sent to Dhahena in India to study with Śrī Siṅgha, who taught him in complete secrecy. Śrī Siṅgha in turn entrusted Vairotsana with the task of propagating the semde and longde sections of Dzogchen in Tibet. He is one of the three main masters to bring the Dzogchen teachings to Tibet, the two others being Padmasambhava and Vimalamitra, and was also a significant lineage holder of trul khor.
Shechen Gyaltsab mentions in his Pond of White Lotus Flowers that before meeting Śrī Siṅgha, Vairotsana had met the wisdom forms of the two vidyadharas Garab Dorje and Mañjuśrīmitra in a miraculous pagoda at Dhahena. After he had presented a huge offering of gold, they conferred empowerment upon him and bestowed their blessings, with the prediction that he would receive the complete teachings from Shri Singha.

Young Heart
by: We Are The OceanDo you see yourself in me?
Have I made you proud?
I'm still learning that everyting comes around.
Nothing ever comes for free.
I'm trying hard and you need to believe.
You didn't bring me up to be a fool.
But still I wait,
Can I just say:
Hello, mother.
Hello, father.
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
I'm trying to be better.
Is it working?
Am I ever going to make something of myself?
Put the past upon the shelf.
I'm looking for a place to start,
I'm just a young heart.
There's no regrets,
Just unwanted memories.
Can we please just forget what was said?
Shake my hand,
I'm with you till the end.
But still I wait,
Can I just say:
I can't make it on my own,
I need you by my side.
Hello, mother.
Hello, father.
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
I'm trying to be better.
Is it working?
Am I ever going to make something of myself?
Put the past upon the shelf.
I'm looking for a place to start,
I'm just a young heart.
I'm just a young heart.
Sitting at the water's edge,
My reflection's not so clear.
I thought by now in my life I'd have overcome this fear.
Have I done right by you?
Have I done right by me?
Hello, mother.
Hello, father.
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
I'm trying to be better.
Is it working?
Am I ever going to make something of myself?
Put the past upon the shelf.
I'm looking for a place to start,
I'm just a young heart.
I'm just a young heart.
