Guru Dorje Drolö
One of the Eight Manifestations of Guru Rinpoche, Dorjé Drolö— The 'Wild Wrathful Vajra'—is a wrathful form of Guru Rinpoche. Riding upon a pregnant tigress, he assumed this manifestation in Paro Taktsang (Bhutan) in order to bring the local deities and guardians under his control. Düdjom Lingpa was considered an emanation of Dorjé Drolö and revealed several terma practices of Dorjé Drolö (i.e. Lama Yangtrö Dorjé Drolö) within the Zabsang Khandro Nyingtik terma cycle. His incarnation Düdjom Jigdrel Yéshé Dorjé was also an emanation of Dorjé Drolö. According to Tsedrub Lama Tharchin, Düdjom Jigdrel Yéshé Dorjé revealed three distinct practices of Dorjé Drolö: the Düdül Wangdrak Dorjé Drolö, the Pema Sokdrub and the Hung Drub.

Since the early 8th century, Tibetans and Himalayan people have treasured "Namtars" as written or spoken narratives that demonstrate the realization of the Buddhist path by exceptional practitioners. These namtars, or spiritual biographies, serve as inspirational guides on the path to enlightenment.
Today, Namtars Foundation aims to record, preserve, and freely offer the world a written and electronic treasury of the oral wisdom of Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhism.
