The Arising of the Guru Principle

Vajrashura gives the opening talk of Padmasambhava Festival Month at the Dublin Buddhist Centre by introducing the Greatly Precious Guru, Padmasambhava, and exploring his story in the context of Bhante's paradigm of the Manu, the Buddha, the Guru and the Terton (or treasure revealer). We are confronted by the fact that the spiritual life can be messy – but the good news is that the forces for the Dharma can win out. We are urged to seek out the treasure of the Dharma ourselves and, by practising it, reveal its riches to the world. Excerpted from the talk entitled The Revealer of Treasures given at Dublin Buddhist Centre, 2026.
