He is credited with bringing Buddhism from India to Tibet in the 8th century, subjugating local deities and establishing the Nyingma school. He is considered an emanation of Amitabha Buddha and embodies enlightened activity, overcoming obstacles, and transmitting profound tantric teachings for liberation.
