The Eight Manifestations of Padmasambhava represent his ability to manifest in various ways as needed. Each manifestation embodies a different principle that reveals the essence of the mind. Guru Rinpoche emphasized that Padmasambhava is the mind itself, and no practice or meditation is needed beyond that. Padmasambhava is an enlightened Buddha who has also manifested as a great sage in Vajrayana Buddhism. He was born miraculously and served infinite beings through his wisdom and compassion. He also manifested the Zangdok Palri Pureland and remained there in a body of light. According to legend, Padmasambhava was born from a lotus in the Milk Ocean after the rays of Buddha's blessing light touched it 12 years after his passing.
