Guru Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, is a highly revered figure in Tibetan Buddhism and is considered one of the founders of the Nyingma tradition, the oldest school of Tibetan Buddhism. Other names, such as Guru Rinpoche, Padmakara, and the Second Buddha, also know him.

According to Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Guru Padmasambhava was an 8th-century Indian master who played a pivotal role in bringing Buddhism to Tibet. The Tibetan king Trisong Detsen invited him to help establish Buddhism in the region and subdue malevolent spiritual forces. Padmasambhava is often depicted as a tantric yogi with a long white beard and a staff, wearing a lotus hat and holding a skullcup and a vajra (thunderbolt).

Guru Padmasambhava is credited with many miraculous activities, including taming and converting local deities and spirits, establishing the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet (Samye Monastery), and transmitting profound teachings to his disciples, especially his consort Yeshe Tsogyal. He is also considered the author of various tantric texts known as terma, which were concealed in Tibet to be discovered by future generations of practitioners.

Padmasambhava's teachings emphasize the importance of compassion, wisdom, and recognizing the inherent Buddha nature within all beings. He is revered as a compassionate and skillful teacher who provided practical methods for spiritual development, including various meditation practices and rituals.

Guru Padmasambhava's influence extends beyond Tibet and has spread throughout the Himalayan region. He is particularly venerated in Bhutan, considered the country's patron saint, and in the Himalayan regions of India, Nepal, and Sikkim. His legacy inspires millions of Buddhist practitioners worldwide, and he is often regarded as an influential figure who dispels obstacles and brings about spiritual transformation.
