Although constructed in Nepal, this Stupa is closely linked to Tibet, for the sons of the poultry woman took vows to establish the Dharma in the Land of Snow. In lives to come, they would be reborn as the great Guru Padmasambhava, King Trisong Detsen, and Abbot Shantirakshita, who worked together to found Samye, the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet.The 'life story' that follows relates the principal events in the life of Padmasambhava, describing the founding of Samye, the teachings given to the twentyfive disciples, the concealment of the treasure texts, and the predictions for their later recovery.
