In the eighth century, the Second Buddha, Guru Padmasambhava, introduced Vajrayana Buddhism to Tibet. He is seated on a lotus throne and is holding a skull cup full of amrita, which represents spiritual realization, and a vajra, which represents wisdom. Mastery over birth and death is symbolized by his khatvanga stick. He leads beings to enlightenment and subdues evil forces with a merciful yet vengeful gaze. His hidden terma teachings, as the creator of the Nyingma school, continue to motivate practitioners on their journey toward enlightenment and freedom.
