'''Guru Tsokye Dorje''' (Skt. ''Saroruhavajra''; Tib. [[གུ་རུ་མཚོ་སྐྱེས་རྡོ་རྗེ་]]; [[Wyl.]] ''gu ru mtsho skyes rdo rje''; Eng. 'Lake-born Vajra') — one of the [[Eight Manifestations of Guru Rinpoche]]. One of the distinctive features of this peaceful form of [[Guru Rinpoche]] is that he is represented holding a [[vajra]] at his heart.

From ''[[A Great Treasure of Blessings]]'', pages 25–26:
:In the north-western part of the land of [[Oddiyana]], on an island in the lake of [[Dhanakosha]], the blessings of all the buddhas took shape in the form of a multi-coloured lotus flower. Moved with compassion at the suffering of sentient beings, the Buddha [[Amitabha]] sent out from his heart a golden vajra, marked with the syllable HRIH, which descended into the lotus blossom. It transformed into an exquisitely beautiful eight-year old child.

:As Guru Rinpoche was born within the lotus flower upon the waters of the lake, the [[dakini]]s called out to him from their hearts, and their call spontaneously became the [[Vajra Guru mantra]]. So this mantra is his heart mantra, his life core, his heart essence, and to recite it is to invoke his very being. He is known as Tsokye Dorje, 'Lake-born Vajra'.
