Guru Rinpoche, meaning 'Precious Master,' is the revered founder of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in Uddiyana, he is known as Padmasambhava, the 'Lotus-Born.' He traveled to Tibet in the 8th century at the invitation of King Trisong Detsen, where he successfully established the first monastic university and subdued local deities, incorporating them as protectors of the Dharma. He is regarded as an emanation of Amitabha Buddha and embodies the complete realization of tantric teachings.
