A Synopsis of Guru Padmasambhava’s Life
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

ཨེ་མ་ཧོ།
emaho
Emaho!
རྒྱུ་རྐྱེན་མི་མངའ་འོ་མ་ཅན་གྱི་མཚོ། །
gyukyen mi nga oma chen gyi tso
With neither cause nor condition you were magically born
པད་སྡོང་ལས་འཁྲུངས་རྫུས་སྐྱེས་པདྨ་འབྱུང་། །
pedong lé trung dzükyé pema jung
From a lotus flower on the Milky Lake in the South, Padmasambhava,
གསོལ་བ་འདེབས་སོ་ཚེ་འདིའི་བར་ཆད་སོལ། །
solwa deb so tsé di barché sol
I supplicate you! Pray remove my obstacles;
ཏུ་རུ་ཀ་ཡི་སྡེ་རྣམས་རྡུལ་དུ་རློག །
tu ru ka yi dé nam dul du lok
Obliterate invading forces;
བསྟན་དང་འགྲོ་ལ་བདེ་སྐྱིད་ལྡན་པར་མཛོད། །
ten dang dro la dekyi denpar dzö
And grant all favorable conditions for the comfort of beings and the teaching of Buddha.
ཕྱི་མ་ཟངས་མདོག་དཔལ་རིའི་ཕོ་བྲང་དུ། །
chima zangdok palri podrang du
In the future may we all awaken as a single gathering
ཨོ་རྒྱན་པད་འབྱུང་ཉིད་དང་དབྱེར་མེད་དུ། །
orgyen pejung nyi dang yermé du
In the Palace of the Glorious Copper-Coloured Mountain,
ཚོམ་བུ་གཅིག་ཏུ་མངོན་པར་སངས་རྒྱས་ཤོག །
tsombu chik tu ngönpar sangye shok
Indivisible from you, the master of Uḍḍiyāna!
ཅེས་བཀའ་བསྡུས་འདི་པདྨ་དངོས་གྲུབ་རོལ་བའི་རྡོ་རྗེས་གསུངས་པའོ། །དགེའོ།།
