The Tibetan yogi-lineage of Dzogchen Mahayoga was
derived from the Eight Great Indian Masters (slop 
dpon chen po brgyad, astamahacharya), otherwise 
known as the Eight Knowledge Holders (bka' babs 
rig 'dzin chen po brgyad, astavidyadhara). Their 
place of gathering was the Cool Grove Cremation 
Ground, Sitavana, near Bodhgaya, in which stood 
the Blissful Tower Stupa, Deje Tsekpa. The 
tradition of hidden treasures asserts that the 
Dakini Lekyi Wangmo guarded this Stupa and at 
propitiation by the Eight Vidyadaras she took 
eight caskets from the Stupa each containing 
one of the principal sadhanas and dispensed 
them to the eight great masters:
