Guru Rinpoche Thangka Painting, Hand-Painted Gold Accents, Tibetan Silk Brocade

Guru Padmasambhava, an emanation of Buddha Amitabha, was known for his miraculous powers and ability to subdue spirits. He was born from a lotus blossom in the land of Oddiyana, presently located in Pakistan. At the king's request, Guru Padmasambhava traveled to Tibet and engaged the local nature spirits in magical combat. He conquered these spirits and bound them by oath to protect the Dharma forever. His victories in these battles can still be seen throughout the valleys and villages of Tibet, where he is affectionately known as “Guru Padmasambhava,” meaning “Precious Master.”

The King, Santaraksita, and Guru Padmasambhava worked together to establish Buddhism in Tibet. The King founded temples, Santaraksita ordained monks, while Guru Padmasambhava established Tantric Buddhism's secret and powerful practices and gave profound teachings to his closest disciples, including the king. He also foresaw that a future king would one day try to destroy Tibetan Buddhism and concealed religious treasures throughout the Himalayan region. These treasures would be revealed centuries later by seers destined to receive them.

Guru Padmasambhava did not die but flew away with his consort on the sun's rays. He is believed to be still living, especially by those within the Nyingma school, which traces its lineage directly to Guru Padmasambhava. He remains full of compassion for sentient beings and has the power to bestow blessings instantly and grant wishes immediately. He remains the exceptional practice focus for many Tibetans, dwelling in spontaneous presence.
