As the "Second Buddha," Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, is revered in Tibetan Buddhism with an unmatched veneration. After being called to Tibet in the eighth century, Guru Rinpoche—who had been born miraculously on a lotus in Oddiyana—subdued evil forces and established the groundwork for the expansion of Vajrayana Buddhism. He is admired for his great insight and ability to go past any challenge on the spiritual path. His teachings and miraculous deeds have had a lasting impact on the Buddhist community. Vajra Guru's mantra, "Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum," is a potent petition for his blessings and captures his essence.
