Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, is often referred to as the 'Second Buddha' by Tibetan Buddhists due to his important role in spreading Buddhism over the Himalayas. His teachings, particularly those on tantric techniques, have had a significant impact on the spiritual landscape of Tibet and elsewhere. Guru Rinpoche's legacy is defined by the terma tradition—hidden spiritual treasures intended for future discovery by tertons (treasure revealers), ensuring the continuing revelation of dharma in times of need.
