Padmasambhava "The Precious Masters"
"Guru Rimphce" is the founder of Tibetan Buddhism and Buddha of our time.
It is believed that on seeing this Statue at "Samye" in Tibet where it was made in the eight century,
He remarked "It looks like me" and then blessed it, saying"Now it is like me!"
Mahakala the Kagyupa and personal Karmapa Bodyguard on the right side.
Guru Padmashambhava was not an ordinary being He was born inside a Lotus Flower in Danakosha,it was very unique because when Guru Rimboche was born all 8 classess of Gods and Demons of this world-system paid homage to Him and presented offerings.
At that time there was a King called Indrabhuti, which he lived a place called Uddiyana in a palace of lapis lazuly a city called the Glowing Jewels, which he had asked to the Buddha to give him a child and that He would sacrifice all his wealth for all the sentient being.
One day all the wealth was finished so He had nothing more to give, then the King tought what I should I donate?
In a island there a lies a Naga Kings daughter called Lovely Maiden, which she has a precious jewel thats has no limits for granting all needs and wants.
So the King went to the island, and met the Naga King daughter Lovey Maiden, after many miracles deeds by passing through different obstacles.
Coming back from His journey, he saw a small boy born in a Lotus flower and asked Him who are you?
Guru Rimboche said
" My father is the wisdom of spontaneous awareness.
My mother is the Ever-Excellent Lady, the space of all things.
I belong to the caste of indivisible space and awareness.
I have taken the unborn dharmadatu as my homeland.
I sustain myself by consuming the consepts of duality.
My purpose is the act of killing disturbing emotions."
The King tought what a wonderful boy I will take with me , and He should be called Padmashambhava " the lotus born "
Guru Padmshambhava had already extraordinary abilities already on early age, when He became a man He wanted to live the palace and go for the dharma, but His father did not allow him, so he killed accidentaly one of the kings sons.
So he was punished and sent to the land of the dead people for 4 years.
He learned great tantra powers, empowerments, magic, during His live time from Manjushri " Boddhisatva of Wisdom", Centresi- Avalokitesvara " Buddha of Compassion", "Amitabha- " Buddha of longevity".
After learning so much Guru Padmashambhava was invited by the Tibetan King Trisong Deutsen to construct the "Chorten" in Samye , that is a round sculpture, where the Buddhist do rounds for the benefit for our lives and to purify all the negativities.
It was not possible to construct This "Chorten"because demons would destroy everything during the night whatever the people constructed during the day.
Even when it was invited another great master Master Bodhisattva.
So then Guru Rimboche went to Tibet to help construct this sanctuary by defeating all the demons of the mountains, wind, forest, and putting them under His strict command, and they also feared Him because He showed them great power.
So this how Guru Padmashambhava spread Buddhism in Tibet together with the King Trisong Deutsen and Guru Bodhisatva.
Guru Padmashambhava is also known as Gurum Rimboche " means the precious jewel master" or also by the Tibetans community "Padmakara".
Each Tibetan Buddhist and respect Guru Rimboche as a Buddha and God for protector for all the obstacles and problem for all the people.
Guru Rimboche powerful mantra is "OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM".
With these great mantra we human beings will get great power, energy and blessings in just time reciting these mantra.
These texts has been inspired by the book of Yeshe Tsogyal - The lotus-Born.
