Guru Rinpoche Statue Collection

Precious Guru Padmasambhava: The Founder of Tibetan Buddhism

Guru Rinpoche, often known as Padmasambhava, meaning "Lotus-Born," is said to have been miraculously born in the ancient kingdom of Oddiyana, appearing as an eight-year-old child on a lotus in Lake Dhanakosha. Recognized as an enlightened being, he was later adopted by the local king before renouncing royal life to pursue profound spiritual practice.
