Guru Padmasambhava was miraculously born within a blossoming lotus flower
on the shore of Lake Dhanakosha in the northwest of Uddiyana. Known as
Padmasambhava, the Lotus-Born, he grew to adulthood in the kingdom of Uddiyana
and traveled extensively thereafter through ancient India in search of
realized masters of sutra and tantra with whom to study the Dharma. The
Lotus-Born Guru then traveled to Nepal, where he engaged in rigorous practices
and extraordinary displays of compassion. Finally, he reached Tibet at the
invitation of the renowned Dharma King Trisong Detsen, taking teachings with
him that would inspire and transform, and that continue to do so to this day.
