One of the main figures in Tibetan Buddhism is Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava. He is credited with bringing local traditions into Vajrayana Buddhism and founding it in Tibet. He is depicted as a royal figure holding a vajra and a skullcup, evoking the virtues of all Buddhas and bodhisattvas. His mantra, "Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum," is used to invoke blessings and protection. Guru Rinpoche's teachings and practices have great significance in the Nyingma tradition, where he is revered as the founder.
