Padmasambhava
Padmasambhava (sanskrit: Padmakara[1]; tibetanski: པདྨ་འབྱུང་གནས།; Wylie: pad+ma 'byung gnas (EWTS); ZWPY: Bämajungnä); mongolski ловон Бадмажунай, lovon Badmajunai, kineski: 蓮華生 (pinyin: Liánhuāshēng), znači Rođen od lotousa, bio je mudrac (guru) iz Oddiyāne za koga se govori da je doveo Vajrayana budizam u Butan, Tibet i njima susjedne zemlje u 8. vijeku. U tim zemljama je poznatiji pod imenom Guru Rinpoche ("Dragocjeni guru") ili Lopon Rinpoche,[2] ili, jednostabno, Padum u Tibetu,[3] gdje ga sljedbenici škole Nyingma smatraju drugim Budom.
Također se smatra emanacijom Buddha Amitabhe[4] i u Vajrayana budizmu poznat kao "drugi Buda".[5] Rođen je u bramanskoj porodici u Sjeverozapadnoj Indiji.[6]
