Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, is a highly esteemed figure in Tibetan Buddhism. He is regarded as the "Second Buddha" due to his pivotal role in bringing Buddhism to Tibet.

The core teachings of Tibetan Buddhism are those of Guru Rinpoche, who brought Vajrayana (Tantric) Buddhism to Tibet and blended it with the native Bon tradition. He is revered for his mastery of spiritual practices and his significant influence on the development of Tibetan Buddhism. His legacy comprises a multitude of teachings and books.
