Guru Rinpoche knew that the demonic rakshasa cannibals of Camaradvipa, at the edge of our world-system, posed a grave threat to humanity. Their impending invasion threatened to engulf the Earth and annihilate all human life. Thus, after firmly establishing Buddhism in Tibet, Guru Rinpoche embarked on a mission to avert the looming disaster.
On the tenth day of the Monkey month in the Wood Monkey Year of 864, Guru Rinpoche set out for Camaradvipa. There, he successfully subdued the leader of the rakshasas, a demon named Raksha Tötreng (Skull-Garland Rakshasa), and assumed his form. Transforming this perilous and hostile cannibal realm, Guru Rinpoche then manifested the extraordinary Palace of Lotus Light, Padma Ö, atop the central mountain known as Zangdok Palri (the Glorious Copper-Colored Mountain). With this, and through Guru Rinpoche’s blessings, this once treacherous domain was transformed into a sublime place for spiritual attainment, where the teachings of Tantra flourish and thrive without interruption.
The island of the rakshasas thus became Guru Rinpoche’s supreme nirmanakaya pure land within our world-system. Residing in the luminous body beyond the confines of birth and death, Guru Rinpoche continues to turn the wheel of the Dharma there, guiding and liberating sentient beings. Emanation after emanation is sent to the human realm, empowered by the blessings of Guru Rinpoche, to ensure the continued guidance and liberation of beings.
