Ocean of Perfect Wonder

Ocean of Perfect Wonder (Tib. ངོ་མཚར་ཕུན་ཚོགས་རྒྱ་མཚོ་, Wyl. ngo mtshar phun tshogs rgya mtsho) is a biography of Guru Padmasambhava by Jamyang Sönam Wangpo (Tib ‘Jam dbyangs bsod nams dbang po, 1559-1620). The work has been misattributed to Tashi Tobgyal. In the colophon he explains that it is based on earlier sources, including some which are no longer available, such as Guru Chöwang's Eleven Deeds of Padmasambhava.
