[[Tulku Thondup]] says:<ref>Tulku Thondup, ''Hidden Teachings of Tibet: An Explanation of the Terma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism'', edited by Harold Talbott (Wisdom Publications, 1999), n.258 p.261.</ref><br> 
:Some of the discovered objects are made of unimaginable materials, sometimes eight or sixteen precious materials formed into an image with wonderful artistery. [[Guru Padmasambhava]] made many of them miraculously and instructed gods, [[naga]]s and [[yaksha]]s to make others. Some are simple in nature and design, and many were made by human beings.
