Today (July 20) Tibetans (and us) celebrate the birth of the great tantric wizard, the lotus-born Padmasambhava, aka Guru Rinpoche, who in the 8th century brought Buddhism with a bang to the wilds of Tibet.  We also celebrate the birth of his amazing consort, Yeshe Tsogyal, accomplished tapasvini  and vixen.

This year Padmasambhava's day coincides with the birthday of a popular and colorful lama, Chorling Rinpoche, son of the late Urgyen Tulku, and a Terton, meaning a lama with a special talent for findingTermas, hidden teachings and prophecies left in caves, rocks, lakes, and other secret places by Padmasambhava and the likes of him.
