Secret Teachings of Padmasambhava by Padmasambhava

These ancient texts, attributed to the great Tibetan meditation master Padmasambhava, offer traditional Vajrayana Buddhist teachings on the nature of the fundamental elements that make up our world. The translator's commentaries show us a practical view of how to use these life-energies for personal development.

With the Vajrayanateachings and, in particular, the action of the profound termatreasures, Padmasambhava has influenced countless creatures. King Trisong Deutsen invited Padmasambhava to Tibet because he wanted to develop Buddhism there but was being hindered by malevolent spirits. As Padmasambhava arrived, the temple complex of Glorious Samye, the Unchanging and Spontaneously Completed Temple, was built in five years. Several other profound and exceptional teachings were given by Padmasambhava to numerous destined students, including the king and his sons, as well as the twenty-five disciples. It is hard to know how many Tibetan pupils were personally empowered by Padmasambhava.

Many of these close classmates had bloodlines that have survived to this day. He is currently residing on the vidyadhara level of spontaneous presence in the form of Vajradhara's regent, unshakable for as long as samsara exists. He sends out emanations to assist beings, full of compassion.
