In Tibetan Buddhism, Guru Padmakara, also known as Padmasambhava or "Lotus-Born," is a highly esteemed figure credited with bringing Buddhism to Tibet in the eighth century. With his arrival, Buddhism entered a new age where traditions were combined with tantric teachings. Invoked for protection, guidance, and spiritual awakening, the Himalayan region celebrates the enormous effect of Guru Padmakara. Numerous teachings, healings, and the secret terma gems that continue to inspire and direct practitioners on the path to waking are all part of his legacy.
