In the eighth century, after conquering a number of challenges and defeating adversarial forces, Guru Rinpoche—also called Padmasambhava—led the establishment of Buddhism in Tibet. Known for his proficiency in Vajrayana Buddhism, he brought and disseminated tantric teachings across Tibet. Frequently seen clutching a skull cup and a vajra, he is revered for his eight incarnations, each of which symbolizes a distinct facet of his enlightened pursuits. His consort, Yeshe Tsogyal, has documented his teachings on hidden treasures, which maintain his legacy and continue to guide practitioners.
