Guru Yoga Teaching

A Teaching given by His Holiness Penor Rinpoche in Berkeley, California July 19, 1996

Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche)

My father is wisdom and my mother is voidness.

My country is the country of Dharma.

I am of no caste and no creed.

I am sustained by perplexity; and I am here to destroy lust, anger and sloth.

Buddhism was brought to Tibet by Padmasambhava (also called Guru Rinpoche) in the 8th Century, 

and has flourished there ever since; transmitted from Gurus (lamas) to disciples in an unbroken lineage.  

Padmasambhava is considered by Tibetan Buddhists to be an emanation of Buddha Shakyamuni.

The Tibetan Buddhist spiritual practices share a distinctive motivation: they are undertaken to end not only one's own suffering, 

but also the suffering of all other beings, to each of whom we owe a karmic debt. 

The understanding is that since we are all linked to one another, 

one person's liberation (enlightenment) is incomplete until all other beings have been liberated.
