Known as 'Lotus-Born,' Padmasambhava is a key figure in Tibetan Buddhism and is credited with bringing religion to Tibet in the eighth century. His birth from a lotus symbolizes his enlightened and pure nature, untarnished by the impurities of the material world. Vajrayana Buddhism is based on the teachings of Padmasambhava, the founder of the Nyingma school, which emphasizes the potential of acquiring Buddha-nature in this lifetime. Because of his enlightened teachings and his involvement in the establishment of Buddhism, he is considered a "second Buddha" in the Himalayan areas.
