In Tibetan Buddhism, Guru Rinpoche—also called Padmasambhava—is regarded as the second Buddha. The origins of Vajrayana Buddhism in Tibet can be traced back to his fabled arrival there in the eighth century. The core of guru devotion is embodied in Guru Rinpoche's teachings, miracles, and mastery over spiritual disciplines, all of which have left a lasting impression on the Buddhist world. His famous prayer, "Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum," embodies his wisdom, strength, and gentle grace and leads practitioners toward spiritual emancipation.
