Biographical Information [TBRC]
Principal among the many teachers to bring Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century, Padmasambhava has numerous forms representing outer, inner and secret aspects of his spiritual being. Within the Oral (Kama) Tradition of the Nyingmapa School of Tibetan Buddhism, Padmasambhava was born in Northern India as the son of a king or minister. In the Treasure (Terma) Tradition he was born on a lotus in Dhanakosha lake as an emanation of the Buddha Amitabha. There is also evidence that Padmasambhava came from South India and that he was the brother-in-law of the Indian Abbott Shantirakshita, builder of the first monastery in Tibet.
