Mahasiddha LutsekapaLucika / Luncaka (lu tsi ka pa): “The Man Who Stood Up After Sitting

Lucika was a Brahman from the eastern part of Bengal. When he realized the universality of death, his mind had a revulsion against samsara, so he went to a quiet place to practice the Dharma. However, he was without instructions, so all he did was think sadly that he had not met a guru to show him the path.

One day, a yogin came there, extremely happy, Lucika gave reverence to the yogin. Puzzled, the yogin asked what he wanted, so he told his tale of seeking a guru for instructions. The yogin then gave him initiation into Cakrasamvara and gave him instructions on the Developing and the Perfecting Stage.

Lucika meditated, and in 12 years he was able to join the Developing and the Perfecting Stages, thus gaining siddhi. He then went to the realm of the Dakas in this very body.
