Padmasambhava ("Born from a Lotus"), also known as Guru Rinpoche (Precious Guru) was a tantric Buddhist Vajra master from India who may have taught Vajrayana in Tibet (circa 8th - 9th centuries). In modern Tibetan Buddhism, Padmasambhava is considered to be a Buddha that was foretold by Buddha Shakyamuni. In Tibetan Buddhism, the teachings of Padmasambhava are said to include an oral lineage (kama), and a lineage of the hidden treasure texts (termas).
