The Eight Manifestations of Padmasambhava shows his different ability to manifest in many ways based on the specifications and demands of the time. In Tibetan, they are known as Guru Tsen Gyé, or the Guru's eight 'names;' each manifestation displays a different principle that reveals the mind's most profound essence. "Mind itself is Padmasambhava," Guru Rinpoche stated, "there is no practice or meditation aside from that."
Guru Padmasambhava is not only a fully enlightened Buddha, but he has also manifested as one of the greatest sages of the Vajrayana Buddhist world. He was born miraculously and served infinite beings for millenniums through the power of his wisdom and compassion. He manifested Zangdok Palri Pureland and remained there in the body of light.
Twelve years after the Maha Parinirvana of the Buddha, the rays of blessing light of the Buddha of Infinite Light touched a lotus in the Milk Ocean in the Southwest direction from Bodhgaya. As a result, Guru Padmasambhava was born miraculously in that lotus by "lotus birth" without human parents.
