Fully Gilded. Guru Rinpoche, or precious teacher, is commonly known as Padmasambhava - the 'lotus born'. Known as the second buddha who propagated the Buddhadharma throughout Tibet, he is considered the complete embodiment of all Buddhas of the three kayas. In order to benefit numerous beings and spread the Buddhadharma during the age of decline, Guru Rinpoche spread many hidden treasure teachings throughout Tibet and within the minds of his students.
