Padmasambhava is known for taming the demons that threatened Samye Monastery in 8th-century Tibet.
He is the master of transformation—of the individual and of the spiritual community.
We celebrate the “second Buddha” on the same day we rededicate our Main Shrine Room, 16 months after the flood that damaged it.
