The practice of Lha Chenpo (Mahadeva), in this and similar forms, is a Revealed Treasure teaching (Tibetan: Terma) unique to the Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It was especially popularized through the Mindrolling tradition of the Nyingma. Sometimes Lha Chenpo can be found as a minor figure in paintings of Jinasagara Lokeshvara. There are a number of different forms of Lha Chenpo relating to the 'Terma' tradition plus other unrelated forms of Shiva found in the various levels of Tantra and other Indian and Tibetan Buddhist traditions.
