Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, is regarded as the 'Second Buddha' by the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism due to his involvement in founding Buddhism in Tibet. The term "Lotus-Born" relates to his miraculous birth on a lotus in the kingdom of Oddiyana. His teachings, notably those on Dzogchen and tantric techniques, are central to Tibetan Buddhism, and his knowledge continues to guide practitioners to enlightenment.
