Guru Rinpoche, meaning 'Precious Master,' is an 8th-century Indian Buddhist master who journeyed to Tibet at the invitation of King Trisong Detsen. He played a pivotal role in establishing Buddhism in the region, famously subduing local deities and converting them into protectors of the Dharma. Revered as the second Buddha by followers of the Nyingma tradition, he is celebrated for his ability to transmit the profound teachings of Vajrayana Buddhism, ensuring its flourishing in the Land of Snows and leaving a legacy of spiritual treasures (termas) to be discovered through the ages.
