In the teachings of Guru Padmasambhava, he says that he would instruct different kinds of sentient beings by manifesting into different forms, lives, identities and appearances in Tibet, the Han areas, and even all over the world, in order to liberate them. In this degenerate time, humans are selfish and lack of faith. They hold numerous wrong views, and they are endangered by psychological crises and frequent natural disasters. At such a juncture, the blessings of Guru Padmasambhava will be even greater than those of other buddhas and bodhisattvas.
