About Padma Lingpa
Over 2500 years ago Buddha Shakyamuni predicted that an even greater Buddha would follow him, one born from a lotus flower This „second buddha” is known as Padmasambhava, „The Lotus-Born” or simply as Guru Rinpoche and was instrumental in planting „tantric” or secret mantra” Buddhism in Tibet and Bhutan during the 8th and 9th centuries.
Guru Rinpoche not only taught in Bhutan, he also blessed it with many teaching treasures hidden for future generations, Ieft in mountains, trees, and in the minds of holiy ones. These „treasures” were ordained to be discovered by his chosen Regents - the 5 King Tertons, or ”Treasure Revealers”.
Of the five King Tertons, all named "Lingpa”, Padma Lingpa represents the direction of the west. the direction ruled by the Amitabha Buddha, of whom he is considered to be an emanation. In certain representations of the mandala of reafized beings in Akanistha, the pureland of Amitabha and Chenrezig Buddhas, Padma Lingpa is often represented by an empty space, because he vowed that he alone among Guru Rinpoche's Regents would remain to incarnate in this samsaric world for the sake of sentient beings until the very end of the coming dark kalpa.
Padma Lingpa, in additional to being the fourth of these 5 King Tertons, was the immediate incarnation of the supreme 14th century saint Longchenpa, "the All-Knowing," and was the last pure incarnation of the royal Tibetan Princess Pemasel, whom Guru Rinpoche had awakened from death centuries before, and to whom he had imparted the guardianship of his secret lineage of Great Perfection Teachings, „The Innermost Spirituality of the Dakini”. Guru Rinpoche empowered Pemasel to reveal these teachings in a future life
While Padma Lingpa taught and lived both in Bhutan and Tibet durung the late 15th - early 16th centuries, he was born, attained realization and discovered his first and many other termas in Bhutan. He is revered as a patron saint or Bhutan, and stories of his daring exploits in revealing termas and confronting skeptics abound among the laity and monastics alike.
According to the prophesy of Padmasambhava, Padma Lingpa's legacy was to reveal I08 Dharma treasures, but due to inauspicious circumstances, he successfully extracted only 32 terms. These fully intact teachings have until the present day formed the basis for most of the Buddhist practice in Bhutan Both the famiJy lineage and lineage of incarnations of Padma Lingpa have Continued to produce great masters and leaders. The present royal family and the King of Bhutan descend from Padma Lingpa as did the Sixth Dalai Lama. The three primary emanations of Padma Lingpa - Body, Speech, and Mind - continue the propagation of this extraordinary lineage in Bhutan and now, thanks to the Gangteng Tulku, in the west.
