Description
About : Padmasambhava (Tib.: Guru Rinpoche)
The Lotus-Born
Padmasambhava is also referred to as the Second Buddha as he’s so important for assisting in the founding of Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet.
It is because of his activity that the Dharma was firmly established in the ‘roof of the world’.
Padmasambhava was born in India in the 8th century (from a lotus flower as the story goes), and he was a tantric master and famous for performing miracles.The Tibetan king at the time, King Trisong Detsen, was a buddhist practitioner and he invited Padmasambhava to help establish Buddhism in Tibet, as there were many obstacles to do so. Through his awesome mastery of tantric practices, he is said to have transformed the negative spirits -that prevented Buddhism from flourishing- into protectors and guardians of the Buddhist Dharma.
In Tibet Padmasambhava was called Guru Rinpoche, and his powerful presence in the country helped built Samye, the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet.
Padmasambhava’s mantra
“Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum”
It’s a very strong and powerful mantra and can be used in many circumstances.
