Padmasambhava: The Lotus Born Master
Revered as the Second Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism, Padmasambhava is also considered as a manifestation of Amitābha Buddha, the Buddha of infinite Light, representing the enlightened power of speech. In the Tibetan Buddhism, enlightened beings are said to have three essential qualities – body, speech, and mind – and Padmasambhava is especially connected with the power of speech, helping to teach, guide, and awaken others through his words and blessings. Padmasambhava is said to have transform end the lives countless beings through the transmission of Vajrayāna teachings. Besides doctrinal transmission, he is also said to have subjugated local deities and spirits, transforming them into protectors of the Dharma, thus integrating indigenous beliefs within the Buddhist cosmological framework.
Padmashambhava played a central role in the construction and consecration of Samya Monastery, the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet when he was invited by King Trisong Detsen in the 8th century. Hence, he is celebrated as the one responsible for the transmission of Tantric Buddhism to Tibet and is credited with laying the foundations of Nyingma, the oldest of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. According to historical and terma (treasure) accounts, he subdued malevolent spirits and local deities obstructing the establishment of the Dharma, converting them into Dharma protectors—a pivotal act that allowed Buddhism to take root in harmony with indigenous Tibetan beliefs.
