[edit] Guru Rinpoche Mantra

Om Ha Hum Guru Padma Siddhi Hum should be cited as his main mantra. Gus

Im confused by this second buddha thing - werent there many buddhas before Shakyamuni? Another buddha then? Or, simply, consider him to be enlightened, if that info has any value at all that is? DN

[edit] Rawalsar

A number of sources tell me that Rawalsar in India is considered to be a sacred place for Buddhists because it was from a lotus in the Rawalsar lake that Padmasambhava manifested himself. Whereas this article says that the lake and the kingdom were in Pakistan or Afghanistan. Can someone put up a reliable source for this? -- Lost^(talk) 14:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, in Rewalsar, Padmasambhava appeared on lotus again after a King tried to burn him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.168.139.81 (talk) 03:19, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Patron saint of Sikkim

The fact that he is the patron saint of Sikkim is only mentioned in the picture's title. Could some info on the history of this be added to the text of the article? Wiki-uk 09:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eight manifestations

On German wikipedia site the eight manifestations mentioned there are not completely the same. That Guru Orgyen Dorje Chang is lacking on the german site, instead there is a Guru Tsokye Dorje who is lacking on english wikipedia site (this one). Does anybody know about those different names? Are they thought to be different people?

Within this long text on Padmasambhava maybe an answer to my question is to be found. [1]

Austerlitz -- 88.75.70.113 (talk) 19:06, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

According to this text [2], going first to Lineage and second to Khordong History Tsokye Dorje is another name for Padmasambhava.

[edit] Five consorts

• Shakyadevi
• The Five Consorts

Shouldn't all of them be mentioned?

[edit] Project Padmasambhava Pure Land

• [3] "At the base of the Mata Atlantic mountains, near Três Coroas, Rio Grande do Sul Brasil’s southernmost state, such a place is being constructed. Chagdud Gonpa Brasil’s replica of the celestial realm of Zangdog Palri (“Glorious Copper-Colored Mountain”) brings from Tibetan culture symbols of widely-held values like non-violence and inner clarity. Zangdog Palri is Padmasambhava’s pureland, a realm that expresses the splendid environment manifested from enlightened mind."

Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche. Should this be mentioned on the main page?
