Padmasambhava, also called Guru Rinpoche, highly realized spiritual master, who introduced Tantric Buddhism in Tibet. He was born in the 8th century. According to legend, Padmasambhava was incarnated as an eight-year-old child appearing in a multi-color lotus blossom floating on an island in Lake Dhanakosha in the current Odessa of India. Padmasambhava was the adopted child of king Indrabhuti of Sambalak (Now the modern city of Sambalpur, Odisha). Padmasambhava was invited to Tibet by Tibetan king Trisong Detsen and Founded Tibetan Buddhism together with other invited scholars and masters. He is respected as the second Buddha by the Nyingma School. (The oldest Buddhist School in Tibet) He also helped to build the finest Buddhist monastery in Tibet called Samye monastery at the request of the Tibetan king. He is said to have miraculous power including the ability to control demons and evil spirits. At different points in his life, Guru Rinpoche assumed different principal forms. His every manifestation represents a different stage in his journey towards enlightenment and spreading Tibetan Buddhism across the Himalayas. He is immortal for his great contribution to establishing the Nyingma sect, one of the oldest of the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Guru Rinpoche translated a number of Buddhist texts into Tibetan. The project took many years. His effort earned him the title of “Buddha of the Vajrayana”. He refuted the negative impression people had of the tantra. He promoted rituals as a means to achieve moksha, which means liberation from the cycle of death. Mandarava and Yeshe tsogyal were his two disciples later, he had chosen them as spiritual consorts. Guru Rinpoche preserved his teaching and wisdom in the form of Terma (hidden treasure) all over the Himalayas. Terma came in different forms: physical artifacts for one, but also data in the clouds, water, and surrounding environment.
