Guru Rinpoche, or Padmasambhava, 'The Lotus-Born,' is a venerated master in Tibetan Buddhism, credited with converting Tibet to Buddhism in the 8th century. His birth from a lotus in a lake is symbolic of his pure and enlightened nature, untainted by the material world. Guru Rinpoche's teachings form the core of the Nyingma school, the oldest of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. His legacy includes the introduction of tantric Buddhism to Tibet, a path that emphasizes the transformation of mundane experiences into opportunities for spiritual growth. Guru Rinpoche is revered as a 'second Buddha' across the Himalayan regions, embodying the essence of enlightenment and compassion.
