Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava, thanka print with gold.Size 62cm x 36 cm, just picture 32cm x 22cm Padmasambhava [1] (Skt.), or Padmakara (Skt. Padmākara ; Tib. པདྨ་�� བྱུང་གནས་ , Pemajungné ; Wyl. pad+ma 'byung gnas , in Sanskrit transliteration པདྨ་སམྦྷ་ཝ་) means ‘Lotus-Born’, which refers to Guru Rinpoche's birth from a lotus in the land of Oddiyana . Guru Rinpoche , the ‘Precious Master’, is the founder of Tibetan Buddhism and the Buddha of our time. Whereas Buddha is known primarily for having taught the teachings of the sutra vehicle, Padmasambhava came into this world, and to Tibet in particular, in order to teach the tantras . While Buddha Shakyamuni exemplifies the buddha principle, the most important element in the sutrayana path, Padmasambhava personifies the guru principle, the heart of Vajrayana Buddhism, and he is therefore known as the ‘second Buddha’ (Tib. སངས་རྒྱས་གཉིས་པ་, sangyé nyipa ).
