GURU RINPOCHE c730-c805 CE

Padma-Sambhava (Lotus Born) / Guru Rinpoche (Tibetan)

"My father is Wisdom and my mother is the Voidness.
My country is the country of the Dharma.
I am of no caste and of no creed.
I am sustained by perplexity; and I am here to destroy Lust, Anger and Sloth."
(from the biography by his chief disciple Lady Yeshey Tschogyal)
