In Tibetan Buddhism, Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, is a highly esteemed figure often referred to as the “Second Buddha” for his pivotal role in bringing 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 Padmasambhava, 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 numerous teachings and books.
