The 8 manifestations of Padmasambhava

 This strictly applies to Tibetan Buddhism and other religions  who are more universalistic religions that encompass literally all religions on earth. 

1. Guru Rinpoche-Precious Teacher Crowned with a Thunderbolt and holding a Thunderbolt. Peacock feather topped hat-crown symbolizing freedom from Sin.

2. Padma Solwa-Urgen Dorje Chan

3. Guru Pama Gyalpo- holds a mirror in which the karmic forces of fate are seen. The effect of one's past deeds.

4. Guru Dorje Drollo or Grolod (Guru Dorge Grolod) rides through the Jungle of life swinging his phurbas to ward off evil demons.

5. Nyma Odzer- Yogi in Tiger skin and has a Thunderbolt in his up tied long hair.

6. Shaka Seng-ge Padmasambhava as the 2nd Buddha

7. Guru Senge Dadog- in Tiger skin Tramples the enemies of Religion.

8. Lodan chogsgre-in royal dress skull cup and double Drum

These are basically the 8 forms of Padmasambhava.

The one I know the best is the Crazy Wisdom powerful Guru Dorje Drollo who manifested at Tsopema (called Rewalsar by the East Indians). I listened to an all night Dorje Drollo puja that the monks did there at the Nyingma Gompo in Rewalsar (called Tsopema by the Tibetans.

Really Amazing experience!
