Guru Padmasambhava, or Guru Rinpoche, is celebrated as the “Second Buddha” for his pivotal role in establishing Buddhism in Tibet during the 8th century. Born from a lotus, he embodies miraculous power, deep compassion, and unshakable wisdom. Often depicted with a serene yet powerful presence, he is venerated as a protector who subdues obstacles and awakens spiritual realization. His image serves as a reminder of resilience, transformation, and the enduring light of the Dharma.
