In Tibetan Buddhism, Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, is a highly revered figure frequently referred to as the "Second Buddha" due to his pivotal role in introducing Buddhism to Tibet. Samye Monastery, the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet, was built because it is credited with driving out local spirits and impediments. 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.
