In Tibetan Buddhism, Guru Rinpoche—also known as Padmasambhava, which translates to "Lotus-Born"—is a highly esteemed figure who is credited with bringing Buddhism to Tibet in the eighth century. With his arrival, Vajrayana Buddhism emerged in the area, fusing traditional practices with tantric teachings. His profound teachings, his miraculous deeds, and the treasure manuscripts (terma) he kept secret for future generations all contribute to the legacy of Guru Rinpoche. He is frequently called upon for protection, direction, and spiritual awakening since he embodies the Dharma's transformational and compassionate force.
