蓮花生大士，為印度佛教史上最偉大的大成就者之一，與寂護大師同於那爛陀寺學習，以神通聞名。應藏王赤松德贊邀請，前往西藏弘法，並調伏使藏民得以改宗正統佛教。他是藏傳佛教得以建立的大功臣之一。西藏的桑耶寺建成也與他有關。
蓮花生大士在藏傳佛教中有著極為崇高的信仰，寧瑪派尊奉蓮花生士為鄔金第二佛。所傳授的咒語與伏藏相傳都是由他所教授。蓮花生大士為三世諸佛的總集化現，他即生成就了不滅虹化身，親身示現不生不滅之真諦。
Padmasambhava, one of the greatest achievers in the history of Indian Buddhism, studied in Nalanda Temple with Master Jihu, and is famous for his supernatural powers. At the invitation of the Tibetan King Chisong Detsen, he went to Tibet to promote the Dharma, and tamed it so that the Tibetans could convert to orthodox Buddhism. He is one of the great contributors to the establishment of Tibetan Buddhism. The completion of the Samye Monastery in Tibet is also related to him.
Padmasambhava has extremely lofty beliefs in Tibetan Buddhism, and the Nyingma School respects Padmasambhava as the second Buddha of Wujin. The mantras and termas transmitted are all taught by him. Padmasambhava is the collective manifestation of all the Buddhas of the three generations. He immediately became the incarnation of the immortal rainbow, and personally demonstrated the true meaning of immortality.
