When the magnificent Samye, Tibets first major monastery, was under construction, great

masters were invited from India: Padmasambhava, Vimalamitra, uddhaguhya, and others! Their
chief Tibetan disci"les included the translators Vairotsana and #udra $ying"o!
%ll these masters, disci"les, and translators hel"ed the teachings of the uddha to flourish li&e the
rising sun! 'uring the time of (hyentse, (ongtrul, and )ho&gyur *ing"a, those twenty+five
foremost disci"les of the *otus+orn who had gathered around him at Samye almost a thousand
years earlier all returned in simultaneous incarnations! %s one of my teachers, ',ongsar
(hyentse, "ut it, -The twenty+five disci"les of the *otus+orn came bac& together li&e a throng of
shee" and goats running out of a barn!
These disci"les rea""eared as masters with incredible e."erience and reali,ation, learning, and
accom"lishment! Their "ersonal disci"les and their disci"les disci"les were e/ually ama,ing!0
In fact, throughout (ham and the rest of Tibet, tul&us of all twenty+five were identified and
recogni,ed! Parado.ically, this flowering was a "ortent that the time for Tibets role as a field of
influence to benefit beings was just about to run out!
