This large Tibetan prayer banner is imprinted with the image of Guru Rinpoche, (Guru Padmasambhava, the "Lotus Born" master of Vajrayana Buddhism)  and his mantra. Guru Padmasambhava is a central figure in Tibetan Buddhism and he is considered a historical figure and was born in what is now modern-day India in the 8th century CE.

According to legend, he was a master of tantra and was instrumental in introducing Buddhism to Tibet. He is credited with subduing local deities, demons, and negative forces in Tibet and is believed to have hidden spiritual treasures or "terma" for future generations to discover.

Padmasambhava is often depicted with a fierce, semi-wrathful expression, holding a vajra and skull cup. Revered by the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism as Guru Rinpoche, the "Second Buddha," he is believed to have attained the highest level of spiritual realization as a Vajrayana master.
