"Padmasambhava" Padmasambhava' ); Mongolian language/Mongolian ????? ??????????, lovon Badmajunai, }} (lit. "Lotus-Born"), also known as "Guru Rinpoche", is a literary character of Terma (religion)/terma, an emanation of Amitabha that is said to appear to tertons in visionary encounters and a focus of Tibetan Buddhist practice.
In the eleventh and twelfth centuries there were several competing terma traditions surrounding, for example, Vimalamitra, Songtsen Gampo, Vairotsana and Padmasambhava. At the end of the 12th century, there was the "victory of the Padmasambhava cult." Nyangrel Nyima Özer (1136-1204) was the principal architect of the Padmasambhava mythos.
Although there was also a historical Padmasambhava, nothing is known of the "obscure Indian sorcerer" apart from him helping the construction of a temple at Samye at the behest of Trisong Detsen and shortly being chased out of Tibet.
