*'''[[Padmasambhava]]''' (Skt.), or '''Padmakara''' (Skt. ''Padmākara''; Tib. ''Pemajungné''; [[Wyl.]] ''pad+ma 'byung gnas'') 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 [[tantra]]s. 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. ''sangyé nyipa''). ([[Padmasambhava|Read more...]]) | |||
