Guru Rinpoche, or Padmasambhava, is revered as the 'Second Buddha' in Tibetan Buddhism. He is credited with bringing Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century, establishing its first monastery, Samye, and transmitting tantric teachings. He is seen as a powerful guru who subjugated negative forces and left behind many 'terma' or hidden treasures for future generations.
