The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He is considered an emanation or Nirmāṇakāya of Shakyamuni Buddha as foretold by the Buddha himself.
- According to early Tibetan sources including the Testament of Ba, he came to Tibet in the 8th century and designed Samye Monastery, the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet, during the reign of King Trisong Detsen.
- He, the king, and Khenpo Shantarakshita are also responsible for creating the Tibetan Canon through translating all of the Buddha's teachings and their commentaries into the Tibetan language.
