Padmasambhava (The Lotus-Born), an emanation of the Buddha Amitaba, was a great yogi from the country of Uddiyana, who introduced Buddhism to Tibet in the 8th century.
Known as Precious Guru, he gave teachings and transmission of the Vajrayana to hundreds of disciples, manifesting countless wonders.
For the benefit of future generations he concealed thousands of hidden teachings in many places.
