The Second Buddha 

This is a picture of the Padmasambhava statue shot in Hemis Monastery in the Himalayan hills of Ladakh.
The Lotus Born, is said to have transmitted Tantric Buddhism to Bhutan and Tibet in the 8th century where he is better known as Guru Rinpoche ("Precious Master") or Lopon Rinpoche and where followers of the Nyingma school regard him as the second Buddha.

He said: "My father is the intrinsic awareness, Samantabhadra.
My mother is the ultimate sphere of reality, Samantrabhadri.
I belong to the caste of non-duality of the sphere and awareness.
My name is the Glorious Lotus Born.
I am from the unborn sphere of all phenomena.
I consume concepts of duality as my diet.
I act in the way of the Buddhas of the three times."

He is further considered an emanation of Buddha Amitabha and traditionally even venerated as "a second Buddha".
