About Guru Padmasambhava
According to mythology, Guru Padmasambhava's head once split from anguish when he realized how many evil creatures remained in the world. Amitabha joined the pieces together to form a whole head, which he then placed on his son in three tiers of three, then the tenth, and topped it all off with his image. The 11-headed Avalokiteshvara is sometimes depicted with thousands of arms around him like a peacock's outspread tail. Tara, the goddess, is his female consort. His ancestral home is the mountain Potala.
