Padmasambhava (lit. 'lotus-born'), known as Guru Rinpoche in Tibet and Bhutan, is regarded as the teacher who founded the Nyingma order and introduced the people of Tibet to the practice of Tantric Buddhism. Tradition has it that he lived from 717 to 762, and was invited by King Tisong Detsen to subdue local deities so that construction of the first Buddhist monastery at Samye could proceed. He has been continuously and widely venerated throughout the region, and became especially popular in the early Qing dynasty under the influence of the Manchu court.

Guru Rinpoche
is a highly revered figure in Bhutan, credited with introducing and firmly establishing Vajrayana Buddhism in the region during the 8th century. His influence is profound, with numerous monasteries, temples, and sacred sites dedicated to his legacy, such as the iconic Taktsang Monastery (Tiger's Nest) in Paro, believed to be where he meditated and subdued negative forces. His teachings and hidden treasure texts (terma), to be discovered at the proper time by future masters, form the foundation of Bhutanese spiritual life.
