[[Guru Dorje Drolö]] ([[rdo rje gro lod|gu ru rdo rje gro lod]]  [[Wrathful]] [[emanation]] of [[Guru Rinpoche]] / [[Padmasambhava]]. One of the [[Eight Manifistations of Guru Rinpoche| Eight Manifistations of the Guru]] ([[gu ru mtshan brgyad]]). "He [[manifested]] in the [[terrifying wrathful form of crazy wisdom]] in the thirteen places named [[Tiger's Nest]] ([[stag tshang]]) binding all the [[mundane]] [[spirits]] under oath to serve the [[Dharma]] and entrusted them to guard the [[terma]] [[treasures]]. At that [[time]] he was named [[Dorje Drollo]]."
 
 
 
[[Guru Dorje Drolö]] (Tib. {{BigTibetan|[[གུ་རུ་རྡོ་རྗེ་གྲོ་ལོད་]]}}, Wyl. ''[[gu ru rdo rje gro lod]]'') is one of the [[Eight Manifestations of Guru Rinpoche]]—[[Guru Rinpoche]] in [[wrathful]] [[form]] riding upon a {{Wiki|pregnant}} tigress. He assumed this [[manifestation]] in [[Taktsang Monastery|Paro Taktsang]] in [[Bhutan]] in order to bring the [[local deities]] and guardians under his control.

On one occassion in this [[form]] [[Padmasambhava]], flew to [[Paro Taktsang]] from [[Khenpajong]] in [[northeast]] [[Bhutan]] on the back of a tigress in order to subdue {{Wiki|demonic}} forces.
 
 
 
There are many important [[terma]] focusing on the [[Guru]] in this [[form]].
 
 
 
From [[Vajrapani]], the Great [[Bodhisattva]], [[Guardian]] and Preserver of the [[Mahayana Teachings]], [[Padma]] heard the [[Anuyoga Tantras]].  Then he dwelled in the [[cemetery]] known as the Pile of the [[Worlds]], turning the [[Wheel]] of the [[Dharma]] for the [[dakinis]] for five years.  At the end of this [[time]], he received the [[name]] [[rDo-rje gro-lod]].  [[Guru Dorje Drolo]], a [[wisdom]] [[form]], an expression of the [[rainbow body]] emanated in the final days before [[Padmasambhava's]] departure from [[Tibet]]. [[Dorje]] Drolo made many {{Wiki|prophecies}} and multiplied [[terma]] through his [[meditative]] [[powers]], securing the commitment of local [[spirits]] to extend their [[protection]] across generations. [[Dorje]] Drolo is the [[Buddha]] oriented toward the {{Wiki|welfare}} of practitioners in the {{Wiki|future}} - our {{Wiki|present}} degenerate age.
 
 
 
As [[rDo-rje gro-lod]], [[Padma]] fearlessly treads underfoot the ever -deceptive [[ego]] and severs [[karmic]] entanglements by wielding his three-edged [[phur-bu]].  By subduing the self-created {{Wiki|demons}} and fascinations of {{Wiki|individual}} predispositions, he reveals the apparitional [[nature]] of all [[selfish]] aims and exposes the [[mind]] as utterly [[pure]] and receptive to whatever arises.  He challenges every [[manifestation]] of negativity with an [[attitude]] that each [[life]] situation, regardless of its outward [[appearance]], can prove to be an instruction in [[truth]]. Thus he has the power to overcome [[self]] - deception and [[illusions]] created by [[human]] [[perceptions]], and {{Wiki|comfort}} [[beings]] with the cool radiance of the [[Dharma]].
 
 
 
Appearing in [[peaceful]] and [[wrathful]] [[forms]], [[Padma]] teaches in manifold ways to counteract the [[karmic]] [[obscurations]] which surface as the [[life]] style of a being, a [[people]], a country, or an {{Wiki|era}}.  The [[rational]] [[mind]] cannot conceive of the innumerable [[manifestations]] possible for the Great [[Guru]], who appears wherever and whenever there is a need for his presence.  In the {{Wiki|past}}, he has appeared in [[human]] and {{Wiki|non-human}} [[realms]], in the lands of [[India]], [[Sri Lanka]], {{Wiki|Indonesia}}, [[Burma]], {{Wiki|Central Asia}}, {{Wiki|Afghanistan}}, parts of [[China]] and {{Wiki|Russia}}, {{Wiki|Egypt}}, {{Wiki|Africa}}, the now unknown island of Damadu, and the uncharted [[realm]] of [[Shambhala]].  It is said he now [[manifests]] in the land of the {{Wiki|Copper}} Mountain, which many equate with the [[West]].
 
 
 
Recent [[Termas]] have been found in {{Wiki|North America}}.  [[Tsokyi Dorje]] ([[Lake Born Vajra]]) is [[Gyamtso Dorje]] ([[Ocean Born Vajra]]).  Some current [[Vajrayana]] [[Gurus]] translate the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans into the English [[language]] as “Great Ocean.”
 
 
 
To those tormented by [[mental]] anguish, [[emotional]] instability, and insecurity, he dispels the [[cause]] of their [[suffering]] and brings [[peace]] of [[mind]].  By the power of his [[blessing]], [[beings]] are protected from the {{Wiki|demonic}} energies of {{Wiki|chaos}}, particularly {{Wiki|destructive}} during this darkened [[Kali Yuga]] age.
