Buddha looked into Padma and said, "Though I am mortal, you will not be mortal."

I had kept this page open regarding "Mahasidda" on one of my laptops and I was moved by all this that I had written and thought I should share all this with you today. I hope you all had a good Valentine's Day because my wife and I had great fun together watching "Good Fortune(2025) with Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogan and Aziz Ansari about an Angel in Los Angeles (Keanu Reeves is the funny Angel in Los Angeles). Then we watched Starfleet Academy the latest episode regarding the Furies which was interesting too especially when the Betazoid Girl shows what she can do with her ESP. It opened my mind a lot and showed me what it's like to be gifted. Many people are gifted in many different ways. For me, I mostly see the future (or potential futures) and so often God has me help save people's or animals lives in this way.

Mahasiddha

 Buddha looked into Padma and said, "Though I am mortal, you will not be mortal. You will go on and live for thousands of years. Your names will change and you will always serve all life in the universe by serving the dharma. Beings like myself burn out quickly like a candle flame that brings light for all to see by. But the dharma that burns within you Padma will go on and on in secret and you will secretly save mankind from themselves again and again. I will be with you in spirit and I will strike down and subjagate all who stand against the living Dharma through you. You will live on and on in human form and will almost never die for thousands and thousands of years."

Padma thought this was completely crazy and said to his Lord the Buddha. "How can I believe what you say? I was trained to always be logical and pragmatic in everything I do? How can I accept all this?"
The Buddha smiled and said, "I would not expect anything less from a Dharma Immortal. Your words give away to me that I was right about you!" With this Buddha smiled and spoke with the next person who needed his counseling.
Padma spoke to his uncle and said, "What can I do with this?" His uncle who now was becoming scared of his nephew said, "If Buddha is correct, you will have to watch everyone of us die while you live on as a dharma immortal. You likely will have to change your name many many times to stay this dharma immortal in secret. Do you understand my nephew? Buddha just blessed you and put the human race in your care."

Padma couldn't take all this in and so he walked away to the nearest stream and began to sing to the spirits in the stream. The spirits came to him and sang, "Here comes the secret Dharma immortal who all of us will find ways to keep alive. He comes to save all of us from suffering. Though no human understands still we and he will always understand, our Dharma immortal will save us all.

Note: To a western mind this might be very unusual. If any of you have been out in the country in India in the last 50 years, you might have met people who thought in this way in regard to nature spirits. Many people out in the country all over the world have their senses opened up like this because they haven't had to be closed like living in large cities tends to do to people all over. end note.

Through the years now Padma went from 15 to 35 and then to age 60 or so when the great Buddha passed away. He specifically asked for Padma to speak with. Padma now a much older and wiser man walked carefully to Buddha's side to see him one last time.

Buddha said, "Do you remember when I told you that you would live thousands of years?" Padma said, "Yes."
Buddha: "I want you to call yourself now Padmasambhava which means "Lotus Born" "born of the Lotus". The secret between you and I is that you were born out of the realizations you received from hearing the Lotus Sutra the first time it was given, Padma. Do you understand now?"
