With the transfer of the mantle from master to disciple comes the transfer of responsibility. The disciple pledges to carry on the mission of his master. In order for the work of the [[Great White Brotherhood]] to continue on earth, someone in embodiment must wear the mantle of guru.

Padma Sambhava is a part of a special lineage of gurus of the Great White Brotherhood called the hierarchy of the ruby ray. The chain of hierarchy in this lineage is from [[Sanat Kumara]] (the Ancient of Days) to [[Gautama Buddha]], [[Lord Maitreya]], [[Jesus Christ]] and Padma Sambhava. | With the transfer of the mantle from master to disciple comes the transfer of responsibility.
