Despite the many layers of legend that have accreted around Padmasambhava, scholars generally agree that a renowned Indian tantric master by that name did visit and teach in Tibet in the late eighth century. Our earliest evidence for his activities comes from several tenth-century manuscripts found in the so-called “library cave” of Dunhuang. Pelliot tibétain 44 is a small booklet devoted to the tantric deity Vajrakila. It describes the master’s time in India and Nepal prior to his trip to Tibet. According to this account, he gathered the texts and performed the rites for The Hundred Thousand [Verse] Tantra of Vajrakila (phur bu’i ‘bum sde) at the Asura cave in Yanglesho (yang le shod), Nepal. During this same period, he is also said to have tamed four troublesome Se (bse) goddesses and bestowed upon them new Buddhist names. On gaining accomplishment in the practices of Vajrakila, the master then performed a series of miracles, including the magical diversion of a stream for irrigation purposes.

Pelliot tibétain 307 is a scroll containing several texts on the seven mothers (ma bdun), a set of seven goddesses native to the Tibetan landscape. The framing narrative for the rites found therein tells how, in accordance with the Buddhas’ earlier subjugation of Rudra, Padmasambhava and the Tibetan Lang Pelgyi Sengge (rlang dpal gyis seng ge, 8th century) tamed the seven mothers and bestowed on them oaths and new names as protectors of Secret Mantra. Now led by Dorje Kundrakma (rdo rje kun grags ma), formerly named Kongla Demo (rkong la de mo), the Buddhist mothers are finally supplicated for their assistance.

Also possibly significant is the Dunhuang manuscript IOL Tib J 644, which contains a text on the nine vehicles (theg pa dgu). In its discussion of the Kriya tantras, there appear a number of narrative threads that are found woven into certain later biographical accounts of Padmasambhava’s activities. Thus, for example, the ideal Kriya-tantra practitioner meditates in an Asura cave, attains a vision of his deity, reveals a new stream, and so on. Such details suggest that the biographies of this master were woven from historical fact as well as traditional memes and narrative themes.

In addition to the above-mentioned biographical snippets, the Dunhuang archive also contains a lengthy commentary titled the Lotus Garland Synopsis (padma ‘phreng gi don bsdus pa), a commentary on the Mahayoga tantra known as the Noose of Methods (thabs kyi zhags pa). Both the commentary and its tantra are preserved in later canonical collections, but only in the Dunhuang version are their connections to Padmasambhava so clearly spelled out; only there do several interlinear notes appear to suggest that the commentary was written by none other than Padmasambhava. Some scholars, it should be observed, have proposed that these notes might be interpreted to mean that the eighth-century master wrote the tantra itself, but a more straightforward interpretation would suggest the commentary.

Another text that many scholars have suggested may have been written by the historical Padmasambhava is the Garland of Views: A Pith Instruction (man ngag lta ba’i ‘phreng ba), and still others are also possible, such as his supposed commentary to the Vajravidarana-dharani (Toh. 2679). Taken together, these writings provide some sense of the historical master’s eighth-century interests. We can at least say that he appears to have been deeply involved in the Buddhist tantras, including those of the Mahayoga class and in particular, perhaps, those relating to the deity Vajrakila.

During the later dissemination of Buddhism in Tibet (phyi dar), Tibetan literature exhibits an ever-increasing interest in Padmasambhava. The Testament of Wa/Ba (dba’/sba bzhed), parts of which may date from the tenth or eleventh centuries, is an early history of the imperial period that includes a brief narrative of the eighth-century master’s visit to Tibet. Here we see many of the details that would become so well known in later years: The monk Santaraksita suggests to King Trisong Detsen (khri srong lde brtsan, c. 742-800) that he invite Padmasambhava to assist with the founding of Samye (bsam yas), Tibet’s first Buddhist monastery. On his arrival, the master offers a series of prophecies and tames Tibet’s local spirits who are resisting the introduction of Buddhism. The Testament of Wa also has the master overseeing several irrigation projects in the area around Samye. Such details have led some scholars to suggest that irrigation, and the spirit taming that would have entailed, may have been an area of particular expertise for the master. In the end, however, these same irrigation activities run him afoul of the king and his ministers, and he is soon forced to leave the country. On his way out, Padmasambhava pauses at the border to make a final prophecy, predicting trouble for Tibet and its Buddhists because of his not having been able to complete his activities.

Many of these themes are picked up and developed in subsequent biographies. Particularly influential was the Copper Palace (zangs gling ma), a treasure revelation discovered by Nyangrel Nyima Ozer (nyang ral nyi ma ‘od zer, 1124-1192). This was the first complete hagiographical account of Padmasambhava’s life. Many of its narratives were also incorporated into Nyangrel’s history, the Flower Nectar: The Essence of Honey (chos ‘byung me tog snying po sbrag rtsi’i bcud) and then further expanded in the famous Pema Chronicles (padma bka’ thang), another revealed hagiography discovered by the fourteenth-century treasure revealer Orgyen Lingpa (o rgyan gling pa, b. 1323). By the time of this figure, the legends of Padmasambhava were well established in Tibet, his role within the Nyingma tradition’s treasure tradition clearly predominant.

Padmasambhava-4

According to these legends, Padmasambhava was born amidst miraculous circumstances and grew up a prince in Oddiyana, in northwestern India. As a youth, the prince turns to tantric practice, and before long, the local people force his father, the king, to send him into exile. Padmasambhava then travels around India, receiving teachings and practicing in sacred charnel grounds. Eventually he arrives in Yanglesho, where he gathers the texts of Vajrakila, ends a drought by defeating some troublesome local spirits, and gains realization. While in Nepal, he receives King Trisong Detsen’s invitation and proceeds to Tibet, where he battles a now much-expanded series of local Tibetan spirits, helps to establish Samye, and leaves while pronouncing many ominous prophecies regarding the future of Buddhism in Tibet.

Of particular note in these later accounts are the master’s involvements with the princess Yeshe Tsogyel (ye shes mtsho rgyal), as well as his concealment of various treasures for discovery by later reincarnations of his twenty-five principal disciples (rje ‘bangs nyer lnga). Scores of Padmasambhava biographies have been produced as treasure texts, each adding new material to his rich biographical tradition. And because place is so often central to the revelation of treasure, countless religious sites that the eighth-century master is believed to have visited are scattered across today’s Tibetan Plateau.

In the later treasure traditions, e.g. that of Guru Chowang (gu ru chos dbang, 1212-1270), Padmasambhava is depicted as having eight manifestations (gu ru mtshan brgyad), each of which reflect a different aspect of the master’s miraculous activities: Shakya Sengge (shAkya seng ge), Padmasambhava, Nyima Ozer (nyi ma ‘od zer), Sengge Dradrok (seng ge sgra sgrog), Dorje Drolo (rdo rje gro lod), Tsokye Dorje (mtsho skyes rdo rje), Pema Gyelpo (padma rgyal po), and Loden Chokse (blo ldan mchog sras). These eight manifestations are frequently depicted in art both individually and as a group, and some, such as Dorje Drolo, have developed into popular deities with liturgical traditions of their own.

Through these means, Padmasambhava has become central to the treasure traditions of the Nyingma School. This is quite unlike the traditions witnessed prior to the fourteenth century, when Vimalamitra and other masters often served as the original teachers of revealed treasure, and, of course, within the treasures of the Bon religion. Whereas early Bon texts tend to depict the master negatively, as an enemy of their traditions, later writings of the New Bon (bon gsar) sometimes claim him as one of their own, adding Bon interpretations of his birth, episodes in Zhangzhung, and so on to their renditions of the master’s biography.

    Guru Padmasambhava is a legend and widely propitiated by the Nyingma. Recently I came to know about Him more since my husband has been regularly sharing some of his knowledge with me. I have a few books on Nyingma and I should find time to read more about Him and generally about Nyingma lineage. With no offence, I just wanted to know more and the link between Nyingmapa and Gelug.

    From what I know, Guru Padmasambhava is deemed as the second Buddha. Usually He is the centre of the practice for Nyingmapa, just like our Gelug lineage is Lama Tsongkhapa. They also propitiate Yeshe Togyal, His wife and the one whom He passed on most of the practices and thereafter a few tertons (treasure revealers).

    I do have questions pertaining the treasure revealers, as in Buddhism we are supposed to trace back the lineage, all the way back to Buddha Shakyamuni and how can this be possible then? Even Guru Padmasambhava was miraculously born from a lotus. Are those practices revealed valid? If it is not valid, then how come there are masters who have practiced it, gained realisation and eventually controlled their birth & death, and reincarnated back life after life to benefit beings? Although I am not a spiritual holder, but it does help to understand more.

    I will learn more and dispel the ignorance that I have for this lineage. Thank you Rinpoche

    According to these legends, Padmasambhava was born amidst miraculous circumstances and grew up a prince in Oddiyana, in northwestern India. As a youth, the prince turns to tantric practice, and before long, the local people force his father, the king, to send him into exile. Padmasambhava then travels around India, receiving teachings and practicing in sacred charnel grounds. Eventually he arrives in Yanglesho, where he gathers the texts of Vajrakila, ends a drought by defeating some troublesome local spirits, and gains realization. During this same period, he is also said to have tamed four troublesome goddesses and bestowed upon them new Buddhist names. On gaining accomplishment in the practices of Vajrakila, the master then performed a series of miracles, including the magical diversion of a stream for irrigation purposes. While in Nepal, he receives King Trisong Detsen’s invitation and proceeds to Tibet, where he battles a now much-expanded series of local Tibetan spirits, helps to establish Samye, and leaves while pronouncing many ominous prophecies regarding the future of Buddhism in Tibet.
    Thank you Rinpoche and blog team for sharing this short history of Padmasambhava.🙏😊

    Recording to legend when Padmasambhava was born many miraculous sign appeared . A number of legends have also appeared around Padmasambhava’s life and deeds. He grew up receiving tantric teachings and practicing in sacred charnel grounds.
    He was then known as Guru Rinpoche, the Indian Buddhist master who introduced Tantric Buddhism to Tibet and founded the first Buddhist monastery in Samye . He is the founder of the Nyingma school, the oldest of the four major traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. He is considered as an emanation of Amitābha . Interesting……He is said to have had eight manifestations, including both the peaceful and wrathful forms. , of one where he rides on a pregnant tigress in the fierce form of Dorje Drolo . Each manifestation reflect a different aspect of the master’s miraculous activities. Padmasambhava is closely associated with the treasure tradition of the Nyingma school.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting read.

    Listening to the chanting of sacred words, melodies, mantras, sutras and prayers has a very powerful healing effect on our outer and inner environments. It clears the chakras, spiritual toxins, the paths where our ‘chi’ travels within our bodies for health as well as for clearing the mind. It is soothing and relaxing but at the same time invigorates us with positive energy. The sacred sounds invite positive beings to inhabit our environment, expels negative beings and brings the sound of growth to the land, animals, water and plants. Sacred chants bless all living beings on our land as well as inanimate objects. Do download and play while in traffic to relax, when you are about to sleep, during meditation, during stress or just anytime. Great to play for animals and children. Share with friends the blessing of a full Dorje Shugden puja performed at Kechara Forest Retreat by our puja department for the benefit of others. Tsem Rinpoche

    Spiritual freedom is the root of political liberty. All are free to believe or not to believe, it is our choice to choose what we would pray to. The Tibetan Leader-ship all the while said that there is no ban and discrimination going on in the Tibetan settlement. But in fact in so many proven cases there is unfairness , discrimination do surfaced. Sad ….. the Tibetan Leadership has created much sufferings against Dorje Shugden practitioners as shown in these videos. No matter what religion we are regardless of race we should be given a fair treatment. Its ridiculous just because Su Ming is Dorje Shugden practitioners she is not accepted into the hotel and buying as well. Could not imagine and believe it these still happening in this day. There should be no discrimination and segregation among the communities or tourist or whoever so even though they are not Tibetan but happen to rely on Dorje Shugden. May the ban be lifted soon.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Don’t give up, focus, and you will succeed…..well said. Yes in life there is always up and down at times. Whatever we come across , we must face it with determination and a positive thinking. We must stay on course, to not give up, to persevere and persist despite all obstacles and challenges. Working hard, being patient and being full of determination is perhaps the most fulfilling way. May these videos inspire us not to lose hope no matter how many times we fail , we must be determined.
    Rinpoche ‘s experience during his childhood days , with his dharma dreams and objections from his parents is one example . Never give up.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this inspiring video as a teachings for us .

    Wow not only one but 8 sightings of unexplained lights or unidentified flying objects or UFOs in a row. UFO reports cover close encounters of various types, range from blinking lights in the sky to unusual aircraft. Amazing …. each year, thousands of unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings are reported. Many UFO sightings have been reported in the last decades yet scientist or researchers has not come up a stronger evidence to proof its existing. To me they do exist after all and so are aliens , we are not alone in this universe. They are every where only that we did not know or see it.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this interesting sharing.

    Ra lotsawa is known as one of the most powerful psychic power Master in the history of Tibetan Buddhism. It was Ra Lotsawa who brought the Yamantaka tantras practice to Tibet. Viewed by some practitioners as a mur­derous villain and by others as a liberator of human suffering . He used his magical abilities to defeat his rivals. Despite this known legacy, as a translator of Buddhist scriptures, he has helped spark a renaissance of Buddhism in Tibet within the Nyingma, Sakya, Kagyu and Gelug schools. Many Highly Lamas such as Je Tsongkapa and the 7th Dalai Lama and so forth have even written numerous commentaries on the practice on Yamantaka. Je Tsongkapa highly recommended s meditational path and been practiced in Gaden Shartse Monastery for the past 600 years. Yamantaka is the emanation of Manjushri in wrathful has proven to be a very beneficial practice.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    Beautiful images of Powerful Kalachakra tells all. The Kalachakra Tantra is a profound Buddhist system of teaching and practice. Well it was taught by the Buddha in India more than 2500 years ago at the request of the King of Shambala. A historical kingdom which existed beyond the Himalaya. His Holiness the line of Panchen Lamas are the emanations of the Kings of Shambhala to bring Dharma to the lands outside of Shambhala. Kalachakra is unique in many ways. The practice of Kalachakra is extremely advanced and sophisticated so much so it is very effective for attaining enlightenment for the benefit of all.
    Thank you for this sharing with details to understand better.

    Thangka is a Tibetan Buddhist painting on cotton, silk applique, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala. Looking at those beautiful thangka breathes new life into the human soul. Nowadays more people understand, appreciate beautiful thangkas and even have at least one in their homes. It play an important role in Buddhist rituals by which it helps individual to support during the process of visualization Well Buddhist thangka paintings are very impressive art indeed. Those thangkas, with images of various Buddhist deities are considered to be sacred objects and seeing it is a blessing.
    Giuseppe Tucci an Italian scholar was one truly admirer of these thangkas. He was well known for his contribution to the study of Asian art, culture, religion and language. He even wrote over 360 articles and books and received a numbers of rewards for his contributions in a number of various field promoting global understanding, goodwill and friendship between various peoples and nations such as Japan , India and Tibet to name a few. What he did was amazingly, in Tibetan Painted Scrolls with much details describing a thangka depiction of Shambhala, the mythical kingdom related with the Kalachakra Tantra and its divine kings. Interesting read .
    Thank you Pastor Niral for this wonderful sharing.

    Many of us do miss Tsem Rinpoche and now as Chinese New Year is here. First Chinese New Year without Rinpoche, I am sure those of you who are used to have Rinpoche around during this time will find something is missing. Well ,even though Rinpoche in person is no more with us yet he will be always in our heart and with us always somewhere. Only memories remind and those are the many memories which all will forever treasure. Nor matter what happen some memories can never be replaced. Rinpoche will definitely be back soon. Rinpoche ‘s meaning works and valuable teachings has improved our life and so many others.
    Thank you Pastor Jean Ai for sharing your thoughts and memories of Rinpoche with us.

    There are many benefits of meditation and that is why more and more organizations, companies and schools begin to adopt meditation.Studies show that meditation training can help curb our tendency for distraction, strengthening our ability to stay focused and even boosting memory.
    As we make daily decisions which lead to stress most of the time, we can also make another decision to engage in activities which lead us to manage our inner calm and mind. Thank you very much for the nice article.

    After reading this article, I understood that, what we have in mind is not true. We will be able to do Dharma work if we really want to do it. It does not matter where we are. The people who work away quietly and unassumingly are the ones who really create real benefits for themselves and others.
    Dharma work is said to be a blessing, a privilege and an honour. Dharma work is all about giving, rooting out our selfish mind that brought us all our problems in the first place.Thank you very much for the amazing article.

    Our Lama Tsem Rinpoche was someone who will shows kindness and empathy to others, nor matter who they are from the homeless to those foreign workers and someone Rinpoche did not know. Rinpoche has showed us the way to practice acts of kindness, to help someone with their to-do list, to be compassionate and so forth. To show empathy and kindness will change the lives of those who is stricken by misfortune. Rinpoche had always help those at Kechara Forest retreat as Rinpoche understand them well and their needs when they living in a foreign land away from home . Glad for those who are able to follow Rinpoche to buy groceries, eating out, show and so forth.
    No matter who we are, no matter how successful, no matter what our situation, compassion is something we all need to receive and give. Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike, each has their suffering.
    It’s a reminder to show empathy and kindness and to create a world with more love, more understanding, and more compassion.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor Jean Ai for this wonderful sharing.

    Sometimes when we are angry we tend to remember it for a period of time. This is not healthy and even bring negative impact to us. We are angry because we cannot forgive and let go of what has happened. Just imagine the the energy and time wasted when we are angry. Therefore, we should learn to accept, forgive and move on. Otherwise holding on to grudges will only bring unhappiness to our life.

    Whether they are animals or insects, they are still living beings. As they are not in the form that are able to learn dharma, we should make ways for them to be connected to dharma to help them in their future rebirth. Rinpoche has showed us many ways to care for them, as easy as feeding them and blowing mantra to them. Whatever the method, we just need to put effort and continue with the practise.

    I always admire the creativeness of artists as they are able to bring out their message and express their feelings in a piece of art. Lynda Bell is a great artist as all her art piece brings awareness to our environment, animals, kindness and compassion. Something that we need to keep reminding ourselves that we are all part of the world and therefore we should not abuse and love one another.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

    Look at the poor baby chasing after the mother. Why do we do that to them? It's time to seriously think about our choices in life and how they affect others. Be kind. Don't break up families.

  • She’s going to spend her whole life here without being able to move correctly. Like a machine. They are the slaves of the people and are viewed as a product. It’s immoral.

  • What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    2 yearss ago
    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
