'''Nanam Dorje Dudjom''' (Tib. [[སྣ་ནམ་རྡོ་རྗེ་བདུད་འཇོམས་]], [[Wyl.]] ''sna nam rdo rje bdud 'joms'') (8th-9th cent.) — one of King [[Trisong Detsen]]’s ministers, sent to Nepal to invite [[Padmasambhava]] to Tibet. He became one of Guru Rinpoche's main [[twenty-five disciples]]. When receiving empowerment from Guru Rinpoche, his flower fell on the mandala of [[Vajrakilaya]]. Through the practice he became an accomplished mantrika, who could fly with the speed of the wind and pass through solid rock. The name Dorje Dudjom means ‘Indestructible Subduer of Mara.’
