Dharma King Lian-Sheng addressed Homa Deity : Padmasambhava. Padmasambhava was the first Padmakumara born from a five color lotus flower in Lake Danakosha located in Oddiyana, Northwestern Classical India as he was also known as Lake-Born Vajra「海生金剛」. He was considered to be an emanation of Buddha Amitabha, Kuan Yin Bodhisattva, and Shakyamuni Buddhas body, mouth, and mind Varja Nirmanakaya.
Padmasambhava chose to be a Dharma King instead of a prince. He kept the spirit of reformation as he was invited by King Trisong Detsen 「赤松德真」of Tibet to propagate Dharma from India to Tibet. He turned the Bonpo (苯教) to Buddhist and Protector Deities of Bonpo to Protector Deities of Buddhist law.
Guru Rinpoche「蓮師」 propagated Dharma in Tibet for 50 years. Khenpo Shantarakshita 「寂護大師」, King Trisong Detsen, and guru together constructed Tibet
