八世紀印度那爛陀寺僧人及雲遊僧，後應寂護論師與藏王赤松德贊禮請入藏創立僧團，後人尊稱為蓮師。由於後世弟子的崇敬，增添了許多神奇色彩，也被稱為第二佛陀。所帶入的密法稱為前譯派，為今寧瑪派所信奉。首位將藏密傳入漢地的寧瑪派教傳三十二代祖師諾那呼圖克圖謂蓮花生大士是彌陀身、觀音口、釋迦心，合諸佛菩薩身口意之三密金剛應化身。
 
Guru Padmasambhava (12cmH)
an 8th-century Indian Buddhist master. Although there was a historical Padmasambhava, nothing is known of him apart from helping the construction of the first Buddhist monastery in Tibet at Samye, at the behest of Trisong Detsen and shortly thereafter leaving Tibet due to court intrigues.
A number of legends have grown around Padmasambhava’s life and deeds, and he is widely venerated as a ‘second Buddha’ across Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Himalayan states of India.
In Tibetan Buddhism, he is a character of a genre of literature called terma,an emanation of Amitābha that is said to appear to tertöns in visionary encounters and a focus of guru yoga practice, particularly in the Rimé schools. The Nyingma school considers Padmasambhava to be a founder of their tradition
