“Guru Padmasambhava is not hindered by time and space. He is absolutely free. He can be anywhere at any moment. He can appear in any form. He gives the teaching that is appropriate and necessary for individual male and female bodhisattvas, for dakas and dakinis, and his teachings can be disseminated immediatley or hidden for a later time, as needed. Guru Padmasambhava appears whenever a disciple needs him. He is particularly active at the times when the sun rises and sets. On the tenth day of the waxing moon, as well as on the tenth day of the waning moon, he is actually physically present, granting blessings and accomplishment to all beings.” (The Secret Way of Understanding Padmasambhava from Vajra Sound of Peace by Khenchen Sherab Palden Rinpoche and Kenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche)
