Guru Rinpoche, known as Padmasambhava, is revered as the "Second Buddha" in Tibetan Buddhism. He is credited with bringing Vajrayana Buddhism from India to Tibet in the 8th century, establishing the first monasteries and transmitting profound tantric teachings. He is considered an enlightened master who subjugated local deities and demons, transforming them into protectors of the Dharma. His teachings form the foundation of the Nyingma school, the oldest tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
