Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, holds a special place in Tibetan Buddhism as the "Second Buddha." He is celebrated for introducing Buddhism to Tibet, famously driving out local spirits and obstacles, which led to the founding of Samye Monastery—the very first Buddhist monastery in the region. His teachings form the heart of Tibetan Buddhism, blending Vajrayana (Tantric) practices with the indigenous Bon tradition. Renowned for his spiritual mastery, Guru Rinpoche’s influence shaped Tibetan Buddhism profoundly, leaving behind a rich legacy of teachings and sacred texts.
