The Life of Padmasambhava
Why did some Tibetan ministers fear Guru Rinpoche instead of trusting him? In this episode, Khenpo Sodargye explains how Padmasambhava's enlightened activity in Tibet was not always easily accepted. The teaching begins with Yeshe Tsogyal and the deeper meaning of wisdom consorts, then turns to the early creation of sacred Buddhist statues in Tibet, the flourishing of Dharma, and the political resistance Guru Rinpoche faced from ministers who feared his power.
