In Tibetan Buddhism, Guru Rinpoche, also called Padmasambhava. Shakyamuni Buddha said that "Eight years after my Mahaparinirvana (freedom after Death), a remarkable being named Padmasamvabhava will appear in the center of a lotus and reveal the highest teaching concerning the ultimate state of true nature, bringing great benefit to all sentient beings". Padmasambhava is a Sanskrit word; "Padma" means Lotus Born, and "sambhava" means born from. He is a highly esteemed figure frequently called the "Second Buddha" due to his pivotal role in bringing Buddhism to Tibet. Samye Monastery, the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet, was able to be built because he is credited with driving out local spirits and impediments. He is also considered the Founder of the Nyingma school (one of the four central teachings of Tibetan Buddhism ). 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 from India. 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.
