Introduction of Guru Rinpoche
Guru Rinpoche was an instrumental figure in Tibetan Buddhism. In Tibetan Buddhism, Padmasambhava's teachings are said to have an oral lineage (kama) and a lineage of hidden treasure texts (termas). He is believed to appear in visionary encounters to tertöns, and his form is visualized during guru yoga practice, especially within the Nyingma school. He is revered by Buddhists across Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, India's Himalayan states, and other countries worldwide.
