ANNIVERSARY
OF GURU PADMASAMBHAVA'S BIRTH
The tenth day of the sixth Tibetan month (11th August 2008) is
the anniversary of Guru Padmasambhava’s birth from a lotus at Dhanakhosha
Lake amid wondrous signs. Also known as Guru Rinpoche and the second Buddha, he
was the emanation of Buddha Amitabha, and whose coming was prophesised by Lord
Buddha in the Sutras and Tantras. It is said that the more
delusions and difficulties there are, the swifter and more
powerful he is. When the Tibetans need blessings or
protection, their natural reflex is to invoke Guru Rinpoche,
and when great masters face crises, even they call out to
him as their ultimate source of refuge.
