Guru Rinpoche, or Padmasambhava, is celebrated as the Lotus-Born master who brought Vajrayana Buddhism from India to Tibet in the 8th century. Revered as a second Buddha, he is credited with subduing local deities and transforming them into Dharma protectors, laying the foundation for the thriving Buddhist traditions that continue to this day. He embodies the enlightened activity and power to overcome all obstacles, both worldly and spiritual.
