In a game or in fiction, somewhere:

In the much later Tibetan tradition, a special class of lamas (gter-ston, “treasure finders”) went about “discovering” scriptural treasures (gter-ma) that had allegedly been hidden away long before, during the Buddha’s lifetime, to await the foreordained moment of their revelation.

I can’t be the only one who sees the potential in the gter-ston, can I?
